MedHelp International is proud to announce that today Dr. Edward W. Hook, III, co-moderator of the MedHelp STD and HIV Prevention and Safe Sex forums, received the annual Thomas Parran Award from the American Sexually Transmitted Disease Association.  The Parran Award recognizes lifetime accomplishments in prevention and research in STDs.  It is named for Thomas Parran, the groundbreaking US Surgeon General who first made the country aware of its uncontrolled syphilis epidemic in the 1930s and 1940s and is the architect of modern approaches to STD prevention.

Dr. Hook and Dr. Hunter Handsfield, the other STD and HIV forum moderator, both are former presidents of the American STD Association.
