Preventing 'Other' Sexually Transmitted Infections in Reproductive Health Programs: U.S. and International Perspectives

The prevention of transmission of sexually transmitted infections is an important part of successful reproductive health programs. Here is what is new in this field!
Learning Objectives: By the end of this session, the participant will be able to: 1. Describe some geographic areas where sexually transmitted disease are a problem 2.
