Watch Recording

Any sexually active person is at risk for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), but few older adults (65 and older) are routinely screened for STIs or counseled about risk reduction. This AMA webinar will look at STI epidemiology and rates in older adults, explore how physicians can approach sexual health conversations with older patients and how they can extend sexual health care to long term care facilities.
