Talking Points: The intimate nature of sexuality poses special challenges to providers in discussing it with their patients. The skills required are not routinely included in the training of physicians or other primary care providers. Some clinicians will be more comfortable than others in offering counseling to patients and their partners, but most can develop sufficient skill to: Be a sympathetic listener, Reassure the patient with sexual concerns that strategies exist for addressing those concerns; Make an appropriate referral if needed.

Talking Points: It is essential to evaluate all patients for risks of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including AIDS. Never assume that because patients are older that they are not sexually active or not at risk. Older adults embarking on new relationships following separation, divorce, or death of a long-term partner may be at particular risk. Never assume that older patients can negotiate condom use better than any other patients. How does a woman negotiate the issue of condom use? This issue is just as important in older couples as in younger. The presence of STI’s such as herpes or HPV has long-term implications for patient’s sexual behavior; they must face the need to tell future sexual partners. - - - Original content for this slide submitted by the Clinical Advisory Committee for the Mature Sexuality Education Initiative in March 2004.

Talking Points: It is essential to determine if a patient has ever had a STI. (We know that having ever had a STI increases the risk of having another.) When asking this question, specify the various kinds of sexually transmitted infections, e.g.. gonorrhea, chlamydia, HIV, syphilis, hepatitis, bladder or urethral infection, rectal infection, herpes, warts; and for concrete behaviors if the patient is not informed enough to answer their risk potential for specific STIs. If the answer is affirmative, then ask the patient when she/he had the STI, where she/he was treated, and if the treatment regimen was completed. Ask whether partner's) were treated as well. Just because a patient is middle aged or older does not mean he or she is not at risk for HIV/AIDS. Approximately 10 percent of all AIDS cases in the U.S. are among those 50 years and older. Asking about HIV/AIDS is a good way to encourage patients to evaluate their own risk behaviors and assess whether they are adequately protecting themselves from other STIs as well. This also allows the clinician to assess the patient’s understanding of risks and protective measures. - - - Original content for this slide submitted by the Clinical Advisory Committee for the Mature Sexuality Education Initiative in March 2004.

Talking Points: Avoid using the term “molested,” which may not be understood by some people. Don’t assume that only women are abused; always include history of sexual abuse and rape when taking a male patient’s sexual history. - - - Original content for this slide submitted by the Clinical Advisory Committee for the Mature Sexuality Education Initiative in March 2004.

Talking Points: The PLISSIT model offers an approach to communicating with patients about sexual concerns that allows the individual clinician to gear this communication to their own level of comfort, or competence. Theoretically, each descending level of this approach requires increasing degrees of knowledge, training, and skill on the part of the clinician, who determines at what point referral elsewhere is appropriate.

Talking Points: Giving information often goes hand in hand with giving permission. Frequently this information-giving can dispel myths or misconceptions, such as ones related to genital size. The information should be limited to specific facts directly relevant to the patient’s particular concern. The clinician’s ability to use this approach will depend on their knowledge, theoretical orientation, and value system. Source : Annon JS.
