WHO implementation tool for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) of HIV infection. Module 13. Integrating STI services

Book excerpt: WHO's pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV infection implementation tool contains modules for a range of stakeholders to support them in the consideration, planning, introduction, implementation and roll-out of PrEP services. The modules can be used on their own or in combination. In addition, there is a module for individuals interested in or already taking oral PrEP. The STI integration module compiles existing WHO recommendations, systematic scientific literature reviews and other relevant publications to provide suggested implementation approaches. It is the product of collaboration among many experts, community organizations and networks, providers, implementers, researchers and partners from all regions. The STI integration module is divided into 2 parts: the first focuses on programme managers and other decision-makers, and the second on health care workers. People who use PrEP will also benefit from it.
