Get Yourself Tested is the message of a new campaign on MTV during April which is STD Awareness Month. All month MTV programming will feature content about the importance of sexually active young people being tested for STDs and tips for discussing this sensitive topic with a partner. Partnership, an active partner with CDC to help increase chlamydia screening rates, is using this occasion to launch its new National Chlamydia Coalition website and release its guide for healthcare providers to make screening a routine part of medical care. Titled, Why Screen for Chlamydia?, this 12-page guide synthesizes up-to-date information on the topic into a quick read. Review a copy of the guide at www.prevent.org/NCC.
