April is STD Awareness Month - Make a difference

April is STD Awareness Month, an annual observance to call attention to the impact of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and to promote prevention and testing across the country. New CDC estimates show that there are nearly 20 million new infections in the United States each year, costing the American healthcare system nearly $16 billion in direct medical costs.

You can play an important role in educating people about STD prevention and CDC has resources that can help.
