An interview with Theresa Lowry Lehnen (PhD), Clinical Nurse Practitioner and Associate Lecturer South East Technological University

STIs are spread through intimate sexual contact, including unprotected vaginal, anal and oral sex with an infected partner. Even protected sex can be a risk of contracting some sexually transmitted infections. We spoke with Theresa Lowry Lehnen, RGN, RNP, BSc, MSc, PG. Dip. Ed, M.
