In observance of Sexual Health Month, join us for a discussion of Mycoplasma genitalium (Mgen) - the next installment in the Dr. John G. Bartlett Memorial Education Series. Two specialists in the areas of infectious diseases and obstetrics and gynecology will explore the various aspects of Mgen, including its epidemiology, testing methods and treatment options. Our experts will provide valuable insights into Mgen, its health implications and the measures we can take to address this under-recognized STI.
