Take charge of your sexual health! Your sexual health is an important part of your overall health. Taking charge of your sexual health is simple and can help you avoid serious health issues in the future. If you’re having sex, you should establish a sexual health routine that consists of screening, testing, vaccination, and regular visits with your health care provider. Your sexual health routine will provide peace of mind while protecting you and your community.

Investigate: ACPH prioritizes confidentiality, treatment options, confidential partner notification tools, and prevention by working collaboratively with healthcare providers, community organizations, and individuals affected by STIs.

Prevention: We implement prevention programs aimed at reducing the spread of STIs.
