How to get Malawian men more involved in antenatal care - and why it matters - The Conversation CA How to get Malawian men more involved in antenatal care - and why it matters - The Conversation CA Posted: 27 Oct 2020 07:23 AM PDT When men are excluded from antenatal (prenatal) care, or only participate in a limited way, it's a lost opportunity for the whole family.

Oct 16 2020 Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are at record levels in the United States, with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reporting recent "steep and sustained" increases. STIs are particularly common among young adults (aged 18-24 years), yet most sexually active college students have never been tested. This presents an urgent challenge, as well as a unique opportunity, for universities to increase STI testing among their students.
