At the end of Terry's case, the participant will be able to: |
1. Properly question a youth to identify STI risk by probing the
six relevant components of the STI Risk Evaluation
Questionnaire.
2. Adequately screen a youth most at
risk for STIs. This includes testing for Neisseria
gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, Treponema
pallidum (syphilis), hepatitis B virus, and human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) with pre and post-test counselling.
This may also include hepatitis C virus and TB screening if
