Integrating STI and HIV Prevention into the SBIRT Model

Integrating STI and HIV Prevention into the SBIRT Model

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, half of reported cases of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in 2021 were among adolescents and young adults aged 15–24 years. In addition, men who have sex with men (MSM) are disproportionally impacted by STIs, with 40% of them with syphilis diagnosed with HIV. Overall, there are approximately 20 million new sexually transmitted infections annually in the United States. This webinar will discuss high-risk sexual behaviors among adolescents and young adults. It will share information about missed opportunities to screen for sexually transmitted infections and HIV. It will demonstrate the integration of the SBIRT Model. This webinar will also challenge counselors to have conversations with their clients to minimize the stigma of STIs and HIV, normalize the importance of discussing sex and sexuality, and motivate clients to use preventive measures to avoid the transmission of STIs and HIV.
