Sexually Transmitted Infections: Screening and Management Update
Copyright :
Despite everything we know about STI prevention, many women still become infected. All providers need to be well-versed in the care of STIs, using the latest 2021 guidelines for screening and treatment. With increasing antibiotic resistance, along with the reemergence of gonorrhoea and congenital syphilis, it is important that the prescribing guidelines are followed. The session will also clarify treatment in special populations.
