Effective screening of populations at high risk for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV is necessary to achieve the public health mission of reducing transmission and acquisition of these infections in Alabama.

Members of the LGBT community represent populations particularly vulnerable to STIs and HIV.  Achieving sexual health, including STI and HIV screening, in LGBT populations is grounded in creating a patient-first healthcare environment that allows for open, safe, honest, and affirming communication between patient and healthcare provider.

The purpose of this 1 day training sponsored by the Alabama/North Carolina STD/HIV Prevention Training Center, Southeast AIDS Education Training Center, and the Fenway Institute is to provide introductory training to key members of the Alabama healthcare community including but not limited to the Alabama Department of Public Health, Community Health Centers/Federally Qualified Healthcare Centers, the correctional system and other stakeholders.  The following topics will be covered:

1.     Concepts of sex, gender, and sexual orientation
2.     Creating an affirming clinical experience for LGBT people
3.     Challenges facing LGBT youth
4.     Sexual Health, STI’s and HIV in LGBT Alabamians

The conference will also include practical experience in communicating with LGBT clients and an opportunity to identify further LGBT training needs throughout the state.

The Update will provide up-to-date information on prevention, management and treatment of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The program will also include a panel discussion with case studies that will review common disease states that may complicate treatment, explore emerging infections, and discuss the future of testing technique implementation.

The Baltimore City Health Department offers 2 types of reproductive health services in the STD Clinics:  1. STD medical management could cover, for example, the various new and old tests available for sexually transmitted infections, such as syphilis.  Also discussed would be the recommended treatments for the different infections; and 2. Early HIV care could cover, for example, when to start treatment, adherence, resistance to medication, and opportunistic infections associated with HIV infection.  Clinical staff must have ongoing clinical training in order to maintain levels of competence in these areas.  To that end, the STD Program has requested that the STD/HIV Prevention Training Center (PTC) at Johns Hopkins conduct periodic surveys of the clinicians, the medical supervisors and the program manager to determine those training needs.  Quality assurance review and emerging community needs are also considered in the development of the Grand Rounds for the year.  This activity will increase knowledge in STI and HIV of the various clinical staff who attend.  We offer an informal needs assessment of all staff to find out what other topics of interest they are interested hearing.  This is a 1 -2 hour program.  CE credit is available

They will also provide training on the Trinity Syphilis Health Check (the rapid syphilis test we hope to start using soon) and self-collected specimens.

Given that the total combined cases of nationally notifiable STDs (chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis) has now reached highest number ever reported to the CDC, the importance of this topic for clinicians, who are seeing more and more STD cases, cannot be overemphasized. Clinicians must be aware of current, evidence-based STD screening, treatment and prevention recommendations to care for vulnerable populations. However, identifying which components of the 137 page CDC STD Treatment Guidelines document are most relevant can be difficult without expert guidance.

Need for topic or procedure (Rationale for presentation, Update, new information, overview, application to the practice of pediatrics, correct misunderstandings): CDC continually updates STD Treatment Guidelines with new recommendations for prevention, screening, counseling, management, and treatment of STDs, such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomonas, HPV, and HSV. New smartphone applications and an email consultation service sponsored by CDC were released and are being promoted further for clinicians to access CDC STD Treatment Guidelines information in real-time, at the point of care, for the most up-to-date information.
