Sexually transmitted infections are increasing across Australia, bringing them to the forefront of concern for medical professionals. So, when is it appropriate to test for HIV? How is monkeypox diagnosed? And what’s the most effective way to manage a genital ulcer?
In this episode, we discuss these key questions with Clinical Professor Louise Owen, Director of the Tasmanian Sexual Health Services.
We would like to thank our Institute Partner, Melbourne Pathology, for their support of the Spot Diagnosis Podcast and our episode partner, Abbvie.
