RACGP Faculty Events

Time: 7.30-8.30pm

Online Webinar

General practitioners play a critical role in the early detection, treatment and prevention of STIs, including syphilis. Many patients access sexual health care through general practice, making GPs central to timely testing, diagnosis, treatment, follow-up and referral. This webinar will provide a brief overview of current STI trends in Australia and NSW, with a stronger focus on the resurgence of syphilis and its implications for general practice. Syphilis can present in a range of ways and may be easily missed, particularly when symptoms are mild, atypical or occur alongside other health concerns. The session will focus on practical approaches that can be applied in everyday general practice, including recognising syphilis as a “great pretender”, knowing when and how to test, interpreting serology, managing positive results, supporting follow-up and contact tracing, and knowing when to seek specialist advice or refer.
