Recurrence prevention guidance focuses on reducing the chances of sexually transmitted infections or genital skin conditions returning after successful treatment. Many STIs and dermatological conditions can recur due to reinfection, incomplete treatment, or unresolved triggers. This guidance helps patients maintain long-term sexual and skin health.

After treatment, individual risk factors, lifestyle habits, and previous recurrence patterns are reviewed. Practical, personalised advice is provided to minimise triggers, avoid reinfection, and maintain healthy skin and sexual practices. The goal is prevention through awareness and consistent care.

This guidance is suitable for individuals who:

Have experienced recurrent STIs or genital conditions

Have recently completed treatment

Want to prevent reinfection from partners

Seek long-term control rather than repeated treatment

Prefer a proactive approach to sexual health
