Introduction of a nurse-led sexual health service for HIV-positive men.

K M Forbes1, P Davis, L Sarner.   

Abstract

A nurse-led clinic offering screening for sexual infections to men within an existing HIV outpatient service was created. A retrospective case-note review was undertaken of those having a sexual health (SH) screen between May and December 2007. A total of 125 men had an SH screen, 117 identified as men who have sex with men and 84 were asymptomatic. Six (7%) asymptomatic men had chlamydial and two (2%) had gonococcal infection. Six new diagnoses of syphilis and two of hepatitis C virus infection were made. We suggest that introducing a nurse-led clinic offering SH screening within HIV services has helped to achieve national standards and improved the SH of our patients.
