THE STI EXPLOSION vs THE FUNDING IMPLOSION - EXPERT OPINION- DR JOHN WHITE
Manage episode 403477905 series 2998893
There has been an explosion in STIs in the UK in the last decade. But at the same time government funding for the services that treat potentially life threatening conditions has been dramatically cut in real terms. We speak to sexual heath expert Dr John White this week to discuss access to sexual health services and the ease of Hep C testing during the current NHS campaign. Also it turns out Hep C treatment is a lot easier than it was a few years ago.
Dr John White has 25+ yrs of clinical experience in sexual health. He was an NHS consultant in Genitourinary Medicine for 13 yrs at Guy's and St Thomas' Hospitals, London. He currently works in Western and Northern Health & Social Care Trusts, Northern Ireland, while also working for Preventx. John was Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of STD & AIDS from 2009 to 2020. He is an expert in bacterial STIs and novel diagnostic approaches and is passionate about educating and speaking on clinical sexual health and HIV medicine.
Including Pride Daily update with Kev McGrath.
