Description
This work is intended for professionals involved in the promotion of healthy, fulfilling and responsible patterns of sexual behaviour. Sexual health promotion includes any intervention which improves a patient's physical or psychological sexual well-being. It encompasses many tasks performed in primary care, including contraception provision, cervical smears, safer sex advice, psychosexual counselling and other aspects of mental health care. The authors provide a menu of options and ideas to meet the wide variety of needs in both urban and rural practices, and those serving populations with different prevalences of HIV and sexually-transmitted diseases. The book therefore reflects the strategy of "The Health of the Nation". It can be used as a practical manual for developing practice policies, or as a text for individual reference by the primary care team.
