Happy Pride from IUSTI-Canada!

We thank and acknowledge Dr Carmen Logie for the statements and Ashlyn Beecroft for her work on the logo.

LGBTQ+ communities across global contexts continue to face stigma, criminalization and discrimination that create barriers to STI prevention, testing, treatment, and broader health and wellbeing.  Pride reminds us that sexual health and human rights are inseparable.

Inclusive, affirming, and evidence-based sexual health services are essential for improving health outcomes and reducing inequities. We remain committed to advancing research, clinical excellence, and equitable access to STI prevention, testing, treatment, and care for LGBTQ+ people.

This Pride Month, we celebrate diversity, support LGBTQ+ communities worldwide, and reaffirm our commitment to health equity and dignity for all.
