WASHINGTON (AP) — New options for testing and treating some of the most common sexually transmitted diseases are becoming available, a trend that experts hope will keep downward pressure on U.S. infection rates.
Last year, the Food and Drug Administration approved the first at-home test that can detect three common infections in women — gonorrhea, chlamydia and trichomoniasis — as well as the first home-based kit for the virus that causes cervical cancer.
The agency ended the year by approving two different drugs for gonorrhea, the first new options for the disease in decades.

I didn’t just link to Lemmy.ml, plus, you’re the one crossposting content from ML in the first place.

I dislike lemmy.ml too, but I your bot-like reposting of their content serves mainly to broaden their reach. I don’t think you’re making things better.
Moreover, your posts are so fast and frequent that they dominate at least some of communities that you target, often leaving local subscribers without a chance to post about the relevant topics on their own. Having watched it happen for more than a few weeks, I have concluded that your posts are mostly annoying, and probably do more harm than good.
I don’t expect to convince you to stop, but would you at least consider delaying your reposts by a day, and then proceeding only if nobody in your targeted community has already posted about that topic?
