Follow on Google News | American Social Health Association Changes Name to American Sexual Health AssociationNorth Carolina-based American Social Health Association is now the American Sexual Health Association. Founded in 1914, ASHA is the nation’s non-profit authority on sexual health, including sexually transmitted infections (STI).
Why change the name? We believe a large part of our mission is to make discussions around sexual health normal and natural. ASHA president and CEO Lynn B. Barclay explains: “Our nation’s overall health is impacted by our lack of comfort in talking about sexual health. This includes STIs, unplanned pregnancy, healthy relationships, and more. The new name reflects our commitment to meeting these issues head on.” The move also reflects the way the field is evolving as it moves from a focus on “diseases” We invite you to visit us online at www.ASHAsexualhealth.org where you’ll find an array of resources for the public, health professionals, media, and parents.
