This course will serve to educate attendees about the oral signs and symptoms of STDs/STI’s, propose ideas for having difficult but necessary conversations about STIs/STDs with patients/clients, and introduce them to resources we created through our public health/oral health collaborative.

1. Recall trends in the incidence and prevalence rates of STDs/STIs in the U.S.;

2. Analyze oral lesions for potential association with STDs/STIs.; and,

3. List culturally appropriate strategies to discuss STDs./STIs with patients.
