Sexual health is a topic that is rarely brought up in most primary healthcare settings. Most providers don’t bring it up and most patients are afraid to discuss it. It is time to break the stigma behind sexual health and STIs/STDs. This presentation will discuss how to break the barriers of starting a conversation about sexual health and take an effective sexual health history. It will discuss the most common STIs, such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, trichomoniasis, and syphilis, and their options for treatment. It will also discuss prevention strategies related to STIs, including Doxy-PEP.
