00:31 Introduction of Matt Binnicker, Ph.D.
01:07 Can you talk about why it’s so important for people to discuss chlamydia and gonorrhea and why healthcare providers and the general public today need to have a good understanding of the causes of these STDs?
02:32 So we just spoke to Dr. Rizza about how over the last five years, STDs have risen each year consecutively. Is there any reason why we have an increased incidence over this timeline with these infections?
03:31 How are these diagnosed in the laboratory? How do we actually figure out if you have this or not?
04:22 Those diagnostic processes, do you think those are going to change at all in the future or evolve, or do you think what we have is good?
06:28 So why is important then to have accurate and rapid laboratory test results for chlamydia and gonorrhea?
07:17 So with regards to the disease itself, if a patient becomes infected how are they managed?
08:50 With drug resistant gonorrhea being in the news so often, the next real concern is how worried should we be about it?
09:58 What should be the big takeaway the audience should get from talking about gonorrhea and chlamydia?
