The Greig Health Record for Young Adults is a terrific resource and I applaud the authors of the article in the August issue of Canadian Family Physician for putting it together.1 Two potential additions missing from the current iterations of this record are the inclusion of extragenital testing for gonorrhea and chlamydia (throat or rectal swabs, indicated for at-risk individuals including men who have sex with men) and HIV prevention methods for individuals at risk of HIV (nonoccupational post-exposure prophylaxis counseling and HIV preexposure prophylaxis counseling for at-risk men who have sex with men). The 2017 HIV preexposure prophylaxis guidelines by Tan et al in CMAJ have further details on the latter.2
