CDC.gov Features deliver actionable and timely health, safety and wellness messages. Here is a preview of the CDC.gov Health and Safety features of the week:
A Simple HIV Test Can Save Your Life ~ Getting tested for HIV is easy. More testing opportunities are now available, especially around June 27th, National HIV Testing Day (NHTD). During the week of the 21st, up to NHTD, there will be thousands of organizations offering HIV testing and hosting special NHTD events. Take the Test, Take Control.
Refugee Health: Challenges of Resettlement ~ Health is one of many challenges refugees face during the transition from their homeland to a new country. Because of the very difficult living conditions refugees are exposed to, they are especially vulnerable to illness and poor health.
CDC Offers Tips for Safe Surgery ~ Surgical site infections (SSIs) can complicate or prolong recovery after surgery. Be sure you know how to protect yourself and your loved ones.
Learn About Sickle Cell Disease ~ Sickel Cell Disease is a serious condition that affects people around the world. Due to the severity of health complications associated with SCD there is a need for increased knowledge and awareness about the disease.
Tetanus Vaccine ~ Playing outdoors can mean getting cuts that may become infected with bacteria commonly found in soil, including the ones that cause tetanus. Tetanus vaccine can help prevent tetanus disease, commonly known as "lockjaw."
Tighter Tobacco Controls Impact Public Health ~ New tobacco regulations regarding health warning labels, use of misleading descriptors (like “light,” “low,” and “mild”), and sales restrictions will help make tobacco products less accessible to youth and will help encourage smokers to quit.
CDC.gov feature articles are written by subject matter experts and health communicators, then edited to emphasize strong call-to-action messages and friendly, meaningful visuals. While most features are topic- or event-driven, some capture the full scope of CDC's work on cross-cutting topics such as staying healthy and safe over the holidays, sending kids back to school, or CDC's global programs and outreach. CDC Features may be syndicated to other Web sites at no cost. Learn more about Content Syndication.
