The Department of STI Control has launched the latest edition of the Management Guidelines on Sexually Transmitted Infections.
 
The guidelines serve as a concise and comprehensive reference manual for doctors, paramedical personnel, medical students and counsellors.
 
The updates in this 6th edition cover issues of antimicrobial resistance in gonorrhoea and updated HIV management and therapeutic regimens, including expanded information on HIV PEP. There is a new chapter on vaccinations and the prevention of STIs. There is also a brand new table in the annex, summarising the common laboratory tests used for STI screening.
 
The 2013 STI Management Guidelines is available for purchase at the DSC Clinic or the National Skin Centre for $20 or download it here.
