Lack Of Knowledge

Vulval skin care is an important part of women’s health, and this evaluation aimed to explore vulval care among women attending our sexual health clinic. A questionnaire was completed by 135 women over a five-week period. Forty-three women (32%) washed their vulva two to three times a day, with 93 (69%) using a detergent-containing product. Thirty-eight women (28%) used sanitary products when not menstruating. Ninety-five women (70%) reported at least one previous vulvo-vaginal condition. One hundred and two women (76%) reported being confident in vulval care; however, 60 women (44%) wished to receive more information. The mismatch between women’s confidence and knowledge may reflect mixed sources of education used by women. We recommend that sexual health clinics review the information they provide to patients on vulval care.

Should we change the focus of health promotion in sexual health clinics?

The Cost

The effectiveness of sexual behaviour change interventions in sexual health clinics is unknown. Risk factors for poor sexual and reproductive health such as depression, violence, alcohol and smoking in sexual health clinics are all common and can be identified easily in sexual health services. Targeting these risk factors could be as effective as traditional sexual health promotion and could have additional benefits. The authors propose a pilot to assess the cost-effectiveness and acceptability of incorporating screening and interventions for these risk factors.

The use of nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT), as well as or in preference to culture for non-genital sites is now recommended both in Australia and overseas because of their greater sensitivity and improved specificity. A survey of 22 Australian sexual health clinics who each year test over 14 500 men who have sex with men (MSM) show that culture remains the predominate method for detecting gonorrhoea at pharyngeal (64%) and rectal (73%) sites. This editorial discusses the potential disadvantages of using culture over NAAT in relation to optimal gonorrhoea control among MSM and advocates that significantly improved control would be achieved by moving to NAAT with the proviso that culture samples are taken wherever possible on NAAT-positive samples and from clients with urethritis to ensure continued surveillance for antimicrobial resistance.
