T he C olumbia P ress August 30, 2019 County hopes to reign in STDs The county’s Public Health Department will launch a program with two neighbor counties it hopes will reduce the prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases. The Sexually Transmitted Infection Testing, Treat- ment and Prevention Pro- gram will work in conjunc- tion with Columbia and Tillamook counties’ Public Health departments. The goal is to reduce the STD prevalence in the region by 10 percent over the next two years. The prevalence of infec- tions of chlamydia, syphilis and gonorrhea all have ris- en sharply over the last few years in Oregon, according to the county. With several of these diseases becoming more difficult to treat, a con- certed effort to combat them is essential. The partnership is the first of its kind on the coast, ac- cording to the county.

We have a lot of returning players and a lot of newbies. We all realize how big this year will be for our program.
