Male Partner Treatment to Prevent BV Recurrence: Evidence and Implementation Webinar

This seminar will discuss the epidemiological and microbiological evidence and pilot data that led to the StepUp randomised controlled trial (RCT) – an RCT that demonstrated treating male partners with a combination of oral and topical antimicrobials at the time a woman is being treated for bacterial vaginosis (BV) significantly improved cure over 12 weeks. The trial methodology and findings will be presented in detail. The seminar will have a focus on the practicalities of implementation and prescribing, including examples of free online resources available to assist clinicians in discussing and providing partner treatment for BV, consumer resources to assist informed decision making, and qualitative research findings.

Speaker: Catriona Bradshaw, MMBS (Hons), FAChSHM, FAHMS, PhD
