April is STD Awareness Month
Published April 02, 2008 @ 10:01AM PT
There are nearly 19 million new cases of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in the U.S. each year, but obvious symptoms often don’t develop and many people who contract an STD are unaware they and there partners are at risk. With this in mind the American Social Health Association (ASHA) recognizes April as National STD Awareness Month, and emphasizes testing as a key component for sexual health. We urge you to visit the ASHA website to learn more about STDs and how to protect yourself. Go to www.ashastd.org for scientifically accurate, unbiased information and support.
