Many people feel anxious about visiting a genitourinary medicine clinic, often because they feel embarrassed or worried. As a result, it can be very difficult to remember or absorb everything that is said.
In order for treatment to be effective, it is vital that a patient understands the nature of the infection, how it was contracted, the treatment prescribed and the importance of contacting sexual partners. This book is intended for healthcare professionals to use with their patients to help achieve this goal.
