Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)

This webpage explains that more than 30 different bacteria, viruses and parasites are known to be transmitted through sexual contact, including vaginal, anal and oral sex. Some STIs can also be transmitted from mother-to-child during pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding. Eight pathogens are linked to the greatest incidence of STIs. Of these, 4 are currently curable: syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia and trichomoniasis. The other 4 are viral infections: hepatitis B, herpes simplex virus (HSV), HIV and human papillomavirus (HPV).

Trauma-Informed and Whole Person Approaches Video

The Trauma-Informed and Whole Person Approaches Video highlights a conversation between HIV program staff, both health department and community-based, at different points in their TIA journey reflecting on what it means and requires to take a trauma-informed approach to providing whole-person care and services.

Hepatitis A

This webpage discusses hepatitis A and how it is an inflammation of the liver caused by the hepatitis A virus (HAV). The virus is primarily spread when an uninfected (and unvaccinated) person ingests food or water that is contaminated with the feces of an infected person. The disease is closely associated with unsafe water or food, inadequate sanitation, poor personal hygiene and oral-anal sex.
