Description

After a lull over the COVID era, sexually transmitted infections are again on the rise.

In this presentation, Prof Jason Ong will present, through a series of case studies, what is happening in Australia in terms of STIs, which infections are prevalent, how do they present, and who is most at risk. Importantly, Prof Ong will also discuss the latest Australian guideline recommendations on the detection, diagnosis and treatment of patients with an STI in primary care, so cases can be identified earlier and the spread of these diseases contained.
