Brief sexuality-related communication (BSC) aims to identify current and potential sexual concerns and motivate those at risk to change their sexual behaviour or maintain safe sexual behaviour. BSC in primary health care can range from 5 to 60 minutes and takes into account biological, psychological and social dimensions of sexual health and wellbeing. It focuses on opportunistic rather than systematic or continuous communication and can be used in conjunction with already established prevention programs. The informational and motivational techniques of BSC enable health care providers to communicate more effectively with their patients, encouraging them to take steps to avoid HIV and sexually transmitted infections. The WHO Department of Reproductive Health and Research, following a review and assessment of existing evidence with regards to BSC, has recently published the guideline on Brief Sexuality-Related Communication: Recommendations for a Public Health Approach.RésuméLa communication brève liée à la sexualité (CBS) vise à identifier les préoccupations sexuelles présentes et potentielles et inciter les personnes à risque à changer leur comportement sexuel ou maintenir un comportement sexuel sûr. Dans les soins de santé primaires, la CBS peut prendre de 5 à 60 minutes et tient compte des dimensions biologiques, psychologiques et sociales de la santé et du bien-être sexuels. Elle se centre sur la communication opportuniste plutôt que systématique ou continue et peut être utilisée en association avec des programmes de prévention déjà établis. Les techniques informatives et motivationnelles de la CBS permettent aux prestataires de soins de santé de communiquer plus efficacement avec leurs patients et de les encourager à prendre des mesures pour éviter le VIH et des infections sexuellement transmissibles. Après un examen et une évaluation des données disponibles concernant la CBS, le Département de santé et recherche génésiques de l’OMS a récemment publié un Guide sur la communication brève liée à la sexualité : recommandations pour une approche de santé publique.ResumenLa comunicación concisa sobre sexualidad (BSC, por sus siglas en inglés) procura identificar actuales y posibles inquietudes sexuales y motivar a las personas en riesgo a cambiar su comportamiento sexual o mantener un comportamiento sexual seguro. La BSC en el primer nivel de atención puede durar de 5 a 60 minutos y toma en cuenta las dimensiones biológicas, psicológicas y sociales de la salud y el bienestar sexuales. Se enfoca en comunicación oportunista, y no sistemática o continua, y puede utilizarse en combinación con programas de prevención ya establecidos. Las técnicas de BSC informativas y motivadoras les permiten a profesionales de la salud comunicarse de manera más eficaz con sus pacientes y aconsejarles que tomen medidas para evitar el VIH y las infecciones de transmisión sexual. El Departamento de Salud Reproductiva e Investigación de la OMS, después de revisar y evaluar la evidencia relacionada con la BSC, recientemente publicó la guía Brief Sexuality-Related Communication: Recommendations for a Public Health Approach (Comunicación concisa sobre sexualidad: recomendaciones para un enfoque en salud pública)
