Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are primarily spread through sexual contact or from mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that over 1 million STIs are acquired daily worldwide, with 374 million new cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and trichomoniasis in 15–49-year-olds till 2020. These infections have significant impacts on sexual and reproductive health, leading to stigmatization, infertility, cancers, pregnancy complications, and increased risk of HIV. Undiagnosed and untreated infectors can transmit STIs to others, highlighting the importance of timely and accurate diagnosis for proper treatment.

Referred to as the #FertilityPreservation Queen by national AYA clinicians, Kristin Smith recently spoke at the National Comprehensive Cancer Network® (NCCN®) Policy Summit on Sexual and Reproductive Health in Cancer Care. An article on this keynote is now published in the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Post. Every person diagnosed with #cancer of pre or or reproductive age, deserves a consult on what the cancer and/or the treatment might do to the ability to have biological children. Every person diagnosed with cancer deserves navigation through the chaos a dx brings. #Navigators make the post cancer diagnosis life better for both patients and providers. #AYACancer #CancerCare #FertilityPreservation #NCCN #ASCO #PatientAdvocacy #Oncology #ReproductiveHealth #AYACSM

World Breastfeeding Week 2024: Closing the Gap - Breastfeeding Support for All   This week, as we celebrate World Breastfeeding Week, we at Catholic Church Health Services (CCHS) of Papua New Guinea want to highlight our ongoing efforts in the fight against HIV, particularly in the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV.   Through the Sexual Reproductive Health Integration Project (SRHIP), implemented in 13 of our health facilities across 11 provinces, we have trained over a thousand health workers, both from CCHS and government facilities, as ART prescribers and in STI management. Thanks to these trainings and the generous support from the Australian Government, we are witnessing incredible success stories of women living with HIV who, with viral suppression, are now able to safely breastfeed their babies.   Breastfeeding while on ART is not only possible but encouraged for mothers with suppressed viral loads. This is a testament to the power of comprehensive support—from policies and healthcare systems to community solidarity.   This year’s theme, “Closing the Gap: Breastfeeding Support for All,” reminds us of the critical need for multi-level support for breastfeeding mums. Let's ensure that policies and attitudes respect women's independence and rights, that healthcare systems are breastfeeding-friendly, and that community support is unwavering.   Together, we can continue to protect the health and rights of women and their babies.   #WorldBreastfeedingWeek #TogetherForMoms #ClosingTheGap #BreastfeedingSupportForAll #SRHIP #HIVPrevention #CCHSPNG   Image is Designed by Freepik www.freepik.com

Reproductive Health Screening: A Vital Step in Women's Wellness   Welcome to Women’s Wellness Wednesday! As you know, at WWF, the health of women is a priority. So today, we will again discuss an essential aspect of women's health. I’m going to need you to follow closely as we talk about Reproductive Health Screening because it is vital to understand how important reproductive health screenings are to the overall well-being of women and how they can help prevent potential health issues.   What is Reproductive Health Screening?   Reproductive health screenings cover a range of tests and examinations designed to assess the health of women’s reproductive organs and detect any abnormalities or early signs of disease. These screenings include pap smears for cervical screenings and breast scans to evaluate breast health. Much like early testing and detection are crucial in HIV/AIDS treatment, reproductive health screenings play a pivotal role in women's health and wellness. Early detection of any form of disease and intervention can promote better health outcomes for women of all ages.   So, if you are not accustomed to reproductive health screenings, this may be a great time to start as they not only contribute to your overall wellness but can ultimately save your life. In the next post, we will outline why reproductive health screenings are so important to the health of women. Stay with us!   #womenshealth #reproductivehealth #wellnesswednesday #healthscreening #preventivecare #healthawareness #womenempowerment #healthyliving
