The BCCDC Indigenous Knowledge Translation Working Group recently published a new series of Indigenous resources to promote knowledge of Sexually Transmitted and Blood Borne Infections (STBBI) in Indigenous communities.

The new series is titled “Let’s talk about sex” In this series we follow a group of friends through four resources providing information about:

  1. What is an STI?
  2. Do I have an STI?
  3. How do STIs spread?
  4. What if I test positive for an STI?
