Hilary Reno is the medical director of the St. Louis County STI/HIV Prevention Training Center, a CDC-funded training center that provides clinical training and technical assistance for clinicians and STI programs in sexual health topics and HIV prevention. She is also a fellow of the Infectious Diseases Society of America.

Professor Reno’s research focuses on factors that lead to sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in at-risk individuals in order to reduce rates of infection. Her ongoing research includes examining the use of extra-genital testing for Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis in patients living with HIV, and in patients who visit her clinic.

She is also interested in the access, care and follow-up for patients seeking care in local emergency departments, and in prevention services such as better testing, counseling, STI education and partner treatment.
