Life is sexually transmitted: Live with it
This article explores issues of sexual health relevant to client care that is, could, or should be offered by nurses in general practice. Sexual health is often the most important element of a personâs holistic health and well-being to be overlooked during consultations. Sadly, some professional carers consider it is not their job, is too embarrassing, morally âproblematicâ or outside their area of expertise.

The result is selective or reducedânot holisticâcare. This article will point to ways for practice nurses to remedy this situation
