Join Dr. David Turok and Dr. Hilary Reno to discuss emerging research that supports emergency contraception and post-exposure prophylaxis for sexually transmitted infections, including HIV. Studies have shown that PEP and EC are appropriate for prophylaxis following unprotected intercourse. Additionally, DoxyPEP shows promise as a preventive measure for gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis.
Learning Objectives
1. Describe current research findings about the safety and efficacy of all methods of emergency contraception.
2. Describe current research findings about PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis for HIV).
3. Describe current research findings and future research needed for doxyPEP, including the role of anatomic differences in efficacy.
4. Identify key assessment and clinical management components for a client interested in using EC, PEP, or doxyPEP, including time and type of sexual activity.
5. Discuss client-led counseling and education approaches for candidates interested in EC, PEP, or doxyPEP.
