Membership

Two types of individual membership are available: full membership and associate membership. Additionally there are opportunities for  organisational membership and commercial sponsorship.

Full Membership

Full Membership of the Union is open to individuals with a professional interest in the study, prevention or control of sexually transmitted infections. A medical qualification is not a requirement for full membership. Full membership of IUSTI costs Euro 40 or equivalent every 2 years. Full members are entitled to all privileges of membership including voting rights and a reduction in registration fees at most IUSTI regional and world meetings. The membership fee has been set so that it will be attractive to anyone who participates regularly in IUSTI events. It is anticipated that any member who attends at least one IUSTI meeting every two years would recoup their membership dues via the discounted registration cost.

Full members receive a substantial discount of 40% on a subscription to the Union’s official journal, the International Journal of STD and AIDS. Subscribers to the journal receive free access to the searchable online version of the journal which is archived back to 1996. To find out more about the journal click here. To subscribe at the special IUSTI rate click here or call the journals subscriptions department on +44 207 290 2927/8.

Associate membership

Associate membership of the Union is open to individuals who support its objectives and who have a professional interest in sexually transmitted infections but who do not expect to regularly attend IUSTI meetings. Associate membership is presently free of charge. Associate members may participate in meetings of the Union but they do not receive a discount on IUSTI conference registration fees and have no voting rights.

Both full and associate members will have access to the membership-restricted services planned for this website.

Potential Full or Associate members should download and complete the membership application form. The completed form should be sent by post or as an email attachment to the . An online method of membership application or renewal with integrated secure credit card payment system is expected to be available early in 2008.

IUSTI conferences and regional groups are at the forefront of ideas on the science, management and control of sexually transmitted infections. The meetings are lively, educational and often great fun. They provide an excellent opportunity to get to know other professionals in the field. Take advantage of this opportunity to become a full member of IUSTI at very moderate cost.

Organisational membership

Organisational membership of IUSTI is available to organisations such as national societies for the study of sexually transmitted diseases. The membership fee for organisations is Euro 200 every two years. Potential organisations should, in the first instance, contact the membership secretary.

Sponsorship

Commercial sponsorship of IUSTI meetings and the IUSTI website provides regional and global exposure to leaders in the field for companies with an interest in the diagnosis, treatment or management of sexually transmitted infections including HIV/AIDS. Companies with an interest in sponsoring IUSTI are invited, in the first instance, to contact the .
