Amid a worrying spike in syphilis cases, the Australasian Society for HIV, Viral Hepatitis and Sexual Health Medicine (ASHM) has launched an online Syphilis Interactive Tool to guide clinicians through testing and treating syphilis.
The decision-making tool is free and available online, with primary practices encouraged to use the tool in their clinical care. The tool incorporates pathways for diagnosis and treatment in pregnant women, a priority population group of growing concern.
ASHM’s Syphilis Interactive Tool complements existing resources, including the on-demand training module, Syphilis Outbreak Training.
ASHM is encouraging primary care professionals to help combat Australia’s increase in syphilis cases by integrating the Syphilis Interactive Tool into their clinical practice.
