Let's Talk about Sex!
This training explores sexual health-related risks associated with substance use disorder (SUD). We will focus on the impact of survival sex and sex work on the well-being of persons, including strategies to reduce violence and infections in this population. The training will review pharmacological interventions for HIV prevention, including nPEP, PrEP, and the concept of U=U. Participants will be able to define sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing strategies for the SUD provider and treatment considerations for patients on medication for addiction treatment.
Learning Objectives

- Assess the sexual health history of patients using substances.
- List at least two medical interventions to reduce the risk of infections associated with higher-risk sexual activity.
- Identify the increased risk of violence associated with people who engage in survival sex or sex work and review strategies to mitigate these risks.
