April is STD Awareness Month. Throughout the month (and always!), myLAB Box is working to raise public awareness about the impact of Sexually Transmitted Diseases and Infections.

Why STD Awareness Month?

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the rate of sexually transmitted diseases and infections is higher than it has ever been! Recent CDC reports indicate that there are 20 million new STI cases in the United States each year. Unfortunately, due to a lack of testing and education, many more STIs slip by completely undiagnosed. All totaled, the CDC estimates that there are currently 110 million cases of STIs in the U.S. alone.

The goal of STD Awareness Month is to spread the message that regular testing should be a cornerstone of everyone’s overall general health. Testing for STIs needs to done in regular intervals, not as a once in a lifetime event.

Understanding what STIs are – what causes someone to transmit or contract it, as well as the common symptoms to look out for – is critical in preventing, testing for, and treating them. This month is an opportunity to normalize routine STD testing and conversations about sexual health.

Education and Resources from myLAB Box

At myLAB Box, we aim to provide current, helpful information to help you navigate the often confusing world of STIs.  We hope that the resources you find on our website will educate and motivate you to spread the word. Not just during STD Awareness Month, but every month. We can stop the spread of sexually transmitted infections, but only if we work together.

Here are some informative articles to share with your friends and family. It’s a great no-pressure way of saying that you care about their health and want them to be proactive about taking care of themselves.
