Monday Feb. 7^th @ Noon in Room Student Center Main Lounge

We kick off this year’s events with a frank discussion of sex and medicine.  As future health care professionals, we will likely be presented with a wide range of challenging questions from our patients.

Can an HPV infection really be cleared?  Is it safe for a patient’s partner to swallow the secretions or ejaculations of a patient on powerful chemotherapeutic drugs?  When is sexual activity contraindicated?  Is sexual function preserved in patients with quadriplegia or with other neurological injury?   Does washing the genitals before and/or after sexual activity increase or decrease transmission of STIs?

At this Q&A session, our panel of physician experts will field all of your clinical questions about sex.    What are some of your burning questions?  What will your future patients need to know?
