title: The nurse role in implementing the national sexual health strategy.
abstract: The rising incidence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in England and a recognition that looking after our sexual health is essential for long-term well-being, prompted the government to unveil its first sexual health and HIV strategy (Department of Health, 2001). The government's aim is to modernize sexual health and HIV services and help primary care trusts (PCTs) to address the rise in STIs and HIV, and to reduce unintended pregnancies.
