IPP All GC testing done at the Ohio Department of Laboratory is through the IPP. 85 IPP Sites –38 Family Planning, 35 STD, 11 Juvenile Detention Center, 1 Adult Correction 1% positivity rate required by ODH to be eligible for GC testing. 22 sites do only CT testing since they have fallen below 1% positivity for 12 months –17 Family Planning, 5 STD

IPP 60,334 GC tests were run in 2009 for the IPP 1,773 tests were positive 2.9 % positivity rate overall for IPP

GISP Ohio has participated in the monitoring of trends in antimicrobial susceptibilities of strains of GC since the program began at CDC. In 1991, the Cleveland Clinic Laboratory was established as a Regional Reference Laboratory. Both the Cincinnati and Cleveland City Health Department STD clinics participate as sentinel sites for specimen collection as part of this project.

DIS ODH provides funding for 22 FTE DIS employed at the local health district level. Local DIS are only responsible for providing partner notification services for HIV and syphilis cases.

Challenges DIS do not provide partner services for GC cases. EPT is not yet available in Ohio. ODH STD Surveillance has an approximate 7- month data backlog for GC and CT cases.

Next Steps EPT passage and implementation. The Ohio IPP is reviewing how to improve the CDC Performance Measure on Timeliness of Treatment for GC. Encourage LHDs to enter data themselves. Educate providers on partner services. Comprehensive sex education in the schools.
