RESUMEN

The number of syphilis cases has been increasing in the UK, partly because of localised outbreaks. The sharpest rises have been among men having sex with men, but the incidence among heterosexuals has also risen. Blood-test screening for syphilis is an important part of sexual health, and includes routine screening of pregnant women at the first antenatal visit. Prompt treatment with penicillin in the earlier stages can stop the progression of the disease. Unfortunately, public awareness of syphilis and its potentially serious consequences is low. It is important for health professionals to be alert for signs of the disease and to initiate tests if there is a likelihood that a patient has or is at risk for the disease.

RESUMEN

Under the National Strategy for Sexual Health and HIV, most patients seeking or requiring routine sexual health care are now offered the option of being treated by the primary health care team, rather than a specialised genito-urinary medicine clinic. Taking a sexual history and making a risk assessment is a key skill for making a diagnosis and care plan. This article offers a structured approach to this task, particularly for nurses, midwives and other community health professionals. It also describes the often sensitive core questions that the professional may need to ask in order to obtain an effective sexual history and determine the risks for a particular patient.
