TOPIC: ROLE OF PRIMARY CARE
National strategy for sexual health and HIV
In 2001, the Government developed a national strategy for sexual health and HIV that aims to:
- reduce the transmission of HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
- reduce the prevalence of undiagnosed HIV and STIs
- reduce unintended pregnancy rates
- improve health and social care for people living with HIV
- reduce the stigma associated with HIV and STIs.
An important component of the strategy is public sexual health education targeted at patients most at risk of STIs or unintended pregnancies.
