Sexual health and the ability to reproduce are fundamental to an individual’s physical and psychological wellbeing. With over one million new sexually transmitted infections (STIs) occurring globally each day, understanding the transmission, clinical presentation and treatment of these infections is critical for delivering quality care. This short course equips you with the essential knowledge and skills to diagnose and manage the often-stigmatised conditions associated with sexual activity. Given the increased risk of HIV transmission linked to STIs and the high prevalence of HIV in South Africa, staying current with the recognition, diagnosis and treatment of STIs is crucial. This course not only enhances your clinical competence but also plays a vital role in improving patient outcomes in a country where these issues are highly prevalent.

Participants will gain insights into the anatomy and physiology of the reproductive system, learn how to take a sexual history, conduct examinations and apply the syndromic management approach. Accredited for 30 CPD points with the HPCSA, this 30-hour course is an invaluable resource for clinicians committed to providing comprehensive sexual healthcare.
