Objectives

\n\u2022 Describe the epidemiology of common sexually transmitted infections in Canada
\n\u2022 Provide the optimal approach to testing, treatment and follow up of genital ulcer disease (syphilis and herpes simplex virus)
\n\u2022 Provide the optimal approach to testing, treatment and follow up of urethral and vaginal discharge (gonorrhea and chlamydia)
\n\u2022 Describe the clinical manifestations and approach to management of human papilloma virus (HPV)
\n\u2022 Describe approaches to prevent sexually transmitted infections<\/p>\n

Description:
\n<\/b>In the last decade, rates of chlamydia, gonorrhea and infectious syphilis have been rising. According to Health Canada, rates have increased by 26% for chlamydia, 171% for gonorrhea, and 389% for infectious syphilis. The rise of infectious syphilis in females have led to miscarriages, stillbirths and increased rates of congenital syphilis. In the face of these increases, antimicrobial resistance is also occurring, This is an urgent public health concern as only one remaining antibiotic is successful in treating gonorrhea and other STIs have shown early signs of antibiotic resistance. In this timely webinar, we’ll discuss Canadian epidemiology of STIs, discuss testing, treatment and follow-up of STIs; and\u00a0 discuss manifestations and\u00a0 and management of HPV. Lastly, we’ll discuss prevention strategies. This workshop is an excellent update or refresher for nurses, physicians and other health care practitioners in: women’s and men’s health care settings, sexual health clinics, public health, perinatal and neonatal settings, street and urban clinics, school and adolescent settings and emergency & urgent care clinics.\u00a0 <\/i><\/p>\n
