“Are they going to recollect who they need to contact?”: understanding sexually transmitted infection transmission risks among older Canadians who winter in the United States
This study highlights the complex interplay of social behaviours and health care barriers that heighten the risk of sexually transmitted infection transmission among Canadian retirement migrants in the transnational context of Yuma. Extended diagnostic and treatment services, comprehensive sexual health education in pre- and post-travel consultations, as well as inclusive travel health insurance coverage could significantly improve the sexual health outcomes for this population.
