- STD Awareness Month 2012
April is STD Awareness Month, a prime opportunity to bring attention to the burden of STDs among American youth and to promote STD testing across the nation.
Approximately half of the estimated 19 million STDs that occur in the United States each year are among people 25 and younger. For the fourth year, CDC is teaming up with MTV and other partners on the GYT: Get Yourself Tested campaign, a national information campaign designed to address the high rates of STDs among people under age 25. CDC is also introducing a web-based portal of resources to help health care providers educate young people about sexual health and STD prevention.
For your stories about STD Awareness Month 2012, please find below a press release outlining this year’s GYT efforts and a link to the resource portal for healthcare providers.
