Illustrated Booklet

PsA and Intimacy

30 May 2023

By IFPA

In 2023, GRAPPA published new guidelines for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis. People living with psoriatic disease must be empowered to take an active role in managing their condition.

Together GoodCare project team and with support from IFPA Advocacy Ambassador Karina Andrea Chavez, we have created the Psoriatic Arthritis and Intimacy Booklet.

Psoriatic Arthritis can have a significant impact on sexual health. Studies conducted in the last 40 years have shown that sexual difficulties are common in patients living with Psoriatic arthritis. In the Psoriasis and Beyond study, a majority of people living with psoriatic disease reported such difficulties.

If you would like a copy of the book and or would like to translate it to your native language please reach out to IFPA Communications Team. And update us with the translated material so we can share it Worldwide.
