Let’s talk about… talking about sex. Talking with your patients about sexual health can be uncomfortable or difficult to bring up. However, these discussions are key components to starting conversations about STIs, reproductive health, and PrEP. And with the United States Preventative Services Task Force giving PrEP a Grade A recommendation for “adolescents and adults at risk of HIV,” it can be difficult to determine who is “at risk.” Join us to learn methods — beyond the 5Ps — for talking with patients about their sexual health and how to determine who is “at risk of HIV.”
