IUSTI North America Connect, collaborate, and contribute within the global STI community
IUSTI (The International Union against Sexually Transmitted Infections) is the world’s oldest professional STI organization, founded in 1923. Its mission is to strengthen global cooperation in the prevention, diagnosis, and management of sexually transmitted infections. Each region within IUSTI operates with a dual leadership model, guided by a Regional Chair appointed by the region and a Regional Director appointed by the IUSTI World Executive Committee.
