OVERVIEW

Since 1914, the American Social Health Association (ASHA) has been dedicated to improving the health of individuals, families, and communities, with a focus on preventing sexually transmitted diseases and infections (STDs/STIs) and their harmful consequences.

STDs/STIs affect people of all ages, backgrounds, and from all walks of life - in the U.S. alone there are approximately 19 million new cases each year, about half of which occur among youth ages 15-24 years.

Getting the facts about STDs/STIs and sexual health is increasingly important. We invite you to explore our Web site and learn more about specific STDs/STIs, tips for reducing risk, and ways to talk with health care providers and partners.

Those needing more information about genital herpes can visit our Herpes Resource Center. And for more information on HPV, genital warts, or cervical dysplasia, please visit our HPV and Cervical Cancer Prevention Resource Center.
