Prevention of Sexually Transmitted and Blood Borne Infections Among Older Adults

The aim of the Public Health Agency of Canada is to promote health and protect Canadians from illness through innovation and education. In their Questions & Answers publication on Prevention of Sexually Transmitted and Blood Borne Infections (STBBIs) Among Older Adults published in April 2015, the Public Health Agency of Canada explores what is known about STBBIs among older Canadian adults including individual, interpersonal, social, and structural risk factors that can be associated with this population.
Considerations and recommendations for long-term care facilities to prevent and educate on this topic in their facilities are included.
