What is Syphilis?
› Syphilis is a s*xually transmitted infection (STI) that is caused by a bacteria.

If you are pregnant
› You should be tested for syphilis as early as possible.
› If you have the infection, you can pass it on to your baby before it is born or when giving birth. Untreated syphilis can cause birth defects and stillbirth.
› Treatment for syphilis is safe during pregnancy.

Getting treated
› Syphilis can be cured with antibiotics.

How is Syphilis spread?
› Syphilis is spread when someone with the infection has condomless va**nal, a**l and/or oral s*x with someone else.
Signs and symptoms
› Sometimes painless, open sores can appear
on or inside the p***s, va**na, re**um or mouth.
› Swollen glands in the groin, behind the ears, under the jaw and in the armpits.
› A body rash and/or feeling like you have the flu.

Many people won’t have symptoms at the beginning of an infection, so it’s important to get tested often if you are s*xually active.

Talk to your partner(s)
› If you have syphilis, you should tell your s*xual partner(s) so that they can be tested and treated.
› If you are uncomfortable telling your partner(s), ask your doctor, nurse or local public health unit for help.
› Talk to your partner(s) about STI and the use of protection, so you can make an informed decision about your s*xual health.

Cervical Screening Test
Alberta is transitioning to a new cervical cancer screening test. Women and people with a cervix aged 50 to 69 years will be screened by their healthcare provider with the cervical screening test instead of the Pap test. The cervical screening test looks for high-risk types of human papillomavirus (HPV), a common virus that spreads through s*xual contact.

Who is eligible?
Women and people with a cervix
Aged 50 to 69
Due for cervical cancer screening
Have a valid Alberta Health Care number
Have had s*xual contact with another person of any gender, at any time

You should still get screened for cervical cancer even if:
You have had the HPV vaccine.
You feel healthy
You have been through menopause
You have no family history of cervical cancer
You have had s*xual contact with only 1 person
You have had the same s*xual partner for a long time
You have not had s*xual contact in a long time or are no longer s*xually active
You are in a same-s*x relationship.

Most people will have an HPV infection at some point in their life and never know it. There are usually no symptoms. Most HPV infections don’t cause any problems and are cleared by your body within 2 years. But sometimes, certain HPV types don’t clear on their own and can cause cells on your cervix to become abnormal. These abnormal cells may become cancer cells over time.

Your healthcare provider will collect a sample from you in the same way they did for a Pap test.

Benefits and risks of cervical screening tests
As with any other test, there are both benefits and risks; you might think of these as pros and cons. It’s important to be aware of them before having any test so that you can make an informed decision. While no screening test is 100% accurate, scientific evidence shows that getting screened regularly lowers the risk of dying from cervical cancer.

Eating Disorders Awareness Week - February 1 to 7, 2026
This year's theme is "Health doesn't have a look", dedicated to raising awareness and fostering understanding about eating disorders while challenging the stigma and barriers that prevent access to care.

Eating disorders affect people of all genders, s*xual orientations, ages, socioeconomic classes, abilities, races, and ethnic backgrounds. That is why eating disorder groups across Canada unite to mark EDAW with a national week of action aimed at educating the public, highlighting available supports, and advocating for meaningful change.

How you can help
There probably is nothing worse than watching your loved one suffer with an eating disorder and feeling completely powerless. It’s common to feel overwhelmed, angry, scared, helpless, confused, blamed, marginalized, defensive, frustrated, panicked.. and a million other emotions when an eating disorder shows up in your family.

So what do I do?
You may want start by learning more about eating disorders, or encourage your loved one to attend a support group or attend one yourself. You may want to learn more about public healthcare through Alberta Health Services or perhaps you want to connect directly with our EDSNA staff to ask a specific question. Or maybe you want to support EDSNA’s efforts to raise awareness, dispel stigma by booking a presentation, ensure more resources are available by donating or give your time through volunteering.
