Prompt
Station A is a prepubertal child with an incidental positive gonococcal NAAT and a non-offending parent. Station B is an adolescent disclosing an acute assault within the forensic window, requiring prophylaxis, confidentiality framing and a safety plan.

Station objectives

  1. Grade an STI as evidence of sexual contact while excluding non-sexual routes, especially perinatal acquisition. [1] [6]
  2. Run a trauma-informed, safety-first evaluation with consent, chaperone and forensic documentation discipline. [1] [2]
  3. Decide on HIV post-exposure prophylaxis, STI prophylaxis and emergency contraception by risk and timing. [5] [3]
  4. Frame conditional confidentiality and complete the mandated-reporting and multidisciplinary safety plan. [2] [8]
