From stigma to clinic closures, there are many reasons why individuals may be unable or unwilling to visit traditional HIV/STI testing facilities during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite current and existing challenges, local health departments (LHDs) continue to work to find solutions so that all people have access to HIV/STI testing.
Across the United States, rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are on the rise. Local health departments (LHDs) are on the frontlines, responding to these epidemics and assuring access to testing and treatment in their communities. Not only are many STIs asymptomatic and undetected, but traditional, urine-based screening for chlamydia and gonorrhea often fail to […]
Although the United States is in the throes of an opioid crisis, methamphetamine and other stimulants are still some of the most commonly used substances in communities across the country. Both opioid and methamphetamine use during pregnancy can lead to neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) and an increased risk of negative birth outcomes such as low […]
By Nnandi Massac, Communications Intern The holiday season has arrived and with it comes family gatherings, work parties, and something less fun: increased flu activity. In the first two months of this flu season (October 1 to November 30), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated that 2.5 million illnesses, 1.2 million medical […]
In October 2018, NACCHO, along with the National Environmental Health Association (NEHA), the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO), and the National Center for Healthy Housing (NCHH) began a collaborative project to address lead poisoning using a Health in All Policies (HiAP) approach, informally referred to as the HiAP + Lead Collaborative.
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a leading cause of preventable infectious disease deaths worldwide, and in the United States, eliminating TB is a national public health goal.
The opioid crisis in the United States has led to increased hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection among younger populations of people who inject drugs (PWID) and other vulnerable populations, who often seek care at community health centers.
Despite the availability of screening and treatment, tuberculosis (TB) remains a leading cause of preventable infectious disease deaths worldwide and disproportionately affects vulnerable populations.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common virus that can lead to certain types of cancer later in life. The current HPV vaccine could prevent 92% percent of cancers attributable to HPV. A new CDC study found that there were 43,999 HPV-associated cancers (cancers in organ sites where HPV often causes cancer) from 2012 through 2016. […]
