Our resident Health Nurse is someone who has a plethora of knowledge and dispenses sound advice to a lot of sensitive questions. However, I don't think I've ever read anything here that outlines your credentials. If you have, please post the link or perhaps let those who don't know what your background is. Not trying to be nosy or anything, just curious :)

I figured that it was just a link they provide for more info, I guess I had a blonde moment:p . Actually, what I was getting at was things like educational background and previous employment in the medical field prior to being involved with the STD resource.com. Theoretically, anybody can say i'm with so and so.com or this organization in an online forum. I'm not saying this is the case here but you get where I'm coming from.

My theory is that Health Nurse is actually Health NurseS, and the posts get read by whoever's on duty at the time, or passed onto someone with more knowledge of the particular question.

Just a theory :D

Of course, the sticky above this thread really really really helped me develop my "theory".

Hi AA Train

Good question and it is something we should have provided more information about. In our original introduction we just stated that we are registered nurses who work for the BC Center for Disease Control (BCCDC).

In more detail there are two of us that are responsible for doing the postings and answering the questions on PERB. We are both part of the BCCDC STI/HIV outreach program. In this program some of the activities we do are street nursing in the down town eastside. Work at our STI/HIV clinic on Bute Street. Do cyber outreach on four websites. We also do outreach to massage parlors and are invited to do educational sessions with different organizations. We are a provincial program and our mandate is STI/HIV. We our in the same division as the main STI/HIV clinic at 655 west 12th, the only difference being is that we are the outreach program so we go out and access people where they are.

We are both registered nurses in BC. I have worked in sexual health for the past 9 years and the other nurse has been working in sexual health for more than 20 years. We have also found that while working on PERB we have consulted with many different people to answer the questions.

Just let me know if you need any additional information.

Hi arianna royale

PERB allows us to post here free of charge. In the beginning they asked us if we would provide sexual health information on the forum.
