Testimonials
The sessions turned out to be highly instructional and covered an area which is usually poorly covered in clinical training, so it should be a great resource.
eHIV-STI is an essential knowledge framework written by senior clinicians and it provides flexible learning to fit in with busy working schedules.
It built my confidence with patient consultations, for carrying out specific laboratory investigations and interpretations, and the physical examination of patients and explaining the findings. However, it also helped me to find different approaches for dealing with patients depending on their ages and enhanced my confidence in the treatment of STIs and testing for HIV infection.
Finally, it has helped with the psychological support given to patients who are diagnosed with STI or HIV infections, how to handle sexually abused patients and when it’s necessary to report and use post-exposure prophylaxis.”
