Introduction
This guideline provides evidence based guidance on the content of safer sex advice and the format and delivery of brief behaviour change interventions deliverable in GUM clinics. Much of the advice is applicable to other healthcare settings including general practice and clinics providing HIV care. Advice on condom use and effectiveness, oral sex and other sexual practices and advice specific to the transmission of HIV infection is included. A review of the evidence supporting the guideline, complete reference list and evidence and consensus-based advice statements are published electronically. A patient information leaflet based on the advice statements developed is also available through the BASHH website.
