Healthcare professionals working in primary care and sexual and reproductive health will frequently encounter patients with sexually transmitted infections, both symptomatic and asymptomatic. It is important that these patients are offered advice and support alongside clinical treatment and, where indicated, follow up. The British Association of Sexual Health and HIV (BASHH) website offers patient information leaflets covering all sexually transmitted infections
