Advanced Course

The IUSTI Advanced Course on Sexually Transmitted Infections 2025 "STI Treatment: Tricky problems; best answers" will be held on October 9, 2025, as a day pre-meeting course of the IUSTI Europe Congress.

The course is especially designed for early-career clinicians and healthcare providers (HCPs) who are developing an interest in sexually transmitted infections (STIs). However, all colleagues with an interest in STIs are warmly invited to participate.

Leading experts will provide the latest updates on STIs, introduce new diagnostic technologies, and review the most recent recommendations for treatment and prevention. The course features interactive case discussions with active participant involvement.

Fee: 150,00 EUR
The fee will cover all course materials, coffee and refreshments.
