Sexual Health Considerations with LGBTQIA+ Clients:
Implications for Client Safety, Sexual Satisfaction,
and Overall Well-Being
Dr. Harpreet Malla
Due to social and cultural stigmatization, issues of sexual health that arise in the LGBTQIA+ population are at times overlooked or ignored. Clinicians and clients are unsure of how to bring up or address these topics in session. This presentation will show how in-depth discussions, using methods such as the PLISSIT Model (Permission, Limited Information, Specific Suggestions, and Intensive Therapy), can provide insight into a client’s safety, sexual satisfaction, and overall well-being — especially when working with couples. We will review and explore the clinical implications of recent National Institute of Health (NIH) and World Health Organization (WHO) updates on HIV+ transmission.
At the end of this presentation, participants will be able to:
- Identify multiple sources of stigma re: sexuality for LGBTQ+ populations
-
Utilize the PLISSIT model in bringing up sexual topics
-
Understand u = u in terms of HIV+ transmissibility.
