IPHREHAB: SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTION IN MEN

IPHREHAB


Why Syndromic Management has specific relevance to RTIs/STIs?
  • STI clients hesitant to approach doctors
  • Often choose far-off doctors
  • Do not prefer to revisit
  • First visit may be the last chance
  • If opportunity missed the first time- is like pushing client towards HIV
  • Dealing with 1 STI case is an opportunity to treat at least 1 more case
  • IT IS PUBLIC HEALTH PROBLEM, not about one individual
