These sessions will provide an opportunity to ask questions, participate in case discussions, seek advice, network and provide peer support.
Doxy-PEP involves taking 200mg of doxycycline up to 72 hours after a high risk sexual act to reduce the risk of bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STI) among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM), clinical trials of Doxy-PEP have shown significant reductions in syphilis and chlamydia.
Individuals who might benefit from Doxy-PEP need to be supported on an on-going basis to understand whether this STI prevention strategy is suitable for them in their current context, in addition to conventional STI prevention strategies such as condoms.
Learning Outcomes:
- Apply the latest clinical information about STIs to clinical practice
- Identify appropriate treatment plans for complex cases
- Plan guideline-based monitoring for patients with STIs
Hosted by the Victorian HIV and Hepatitis Integrated Training And Learning (VHHITAL) program, this webinar is intended to support primary healthcare practitioners with the opportunity to bring case studies for discussion and mutual learning. This peer learning approach enhances the future practice of low case load practitioners or even the most experienced practitioners who can benefit from being part of a community of practice.
All practitioners are invited to submit cases for discussion.
