orrespondence to Profesoor Jackie A Cassell; jackiecassell@googlemail.com It’s nearly a decade since I began as Editor in Chief of Sexually Transmitted Infections? and it is still a treat to put together a new issue. Since I began the world of medical publishing has transformed the mission of a professional journal like this, which primarily exists to serve and to educate a community of healthcare practitioners while reaching out to a global audience. Stirratt et al explore risk behaviour among patients in HIV care with a viral load >1500 copies/mL,2 while Deuba report a multi-country study of condom use among people living with HIV in the Asia-Pacific region.3 With Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) we are also seeing a restructuring of vulnerability in developed countries through the impact of new approaches to cervical cancer screening, which is nicely explored in R?nn et al’s editorial.4 The authors reflect on a mathematical modelling study by Hui et al 4 and explore the interactions between technological, social and biological determinants in the context of reduced detection through cervical screening. A Canadian study by Johnson et al 8 explores the populations accessing POCT for HIV, while Bartelsman et al explore the potential impact of gonorrhoea POCT at population level in MSM in a modelling study.8 Self-testing for HIV is explored in a study of home use by Saunders et al. 9 The sexual health needs of transgender people in Australia is explored by Bellhouse et al,10 and the correlates of HPV detection in urine by Aung et al. 11 And as always you will find much of interest in the Clinical Roundup by Emily Chung and in this month’s letters.
