Module 6: Sexuality and pregnancy after SOT
This
module offers a thorough exploration of sexuality and reproductive health in
solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients, equipping healthcare professionals
with the essential knowledge and skills to address these sensitive topics.

sets the stage for understanding the challenges faced by SOT recipients.
