For health care providers in Alberta, we’ve put together a set of syphilis resources that are concise, evidence-informed, and directly applicable to practice. They are designed to support culturally safe, informed, and responsive care for gbMSM and Two-Spirit, gay, bi, trans, and queer communities in Alberta. These resources are here to explore, use in your practice, and share.
This guide outlines evidence-informed recommendations for reducing injection-related pain while providing affirming, culturally safe care tailored to 2S/GBTQ+ communities.
