⚠️ Many cases are found late, dropping survival rates from 80–90% (early stage) to about 43%
🚬 To***co use and HPV are leading risk factors
Unlike many cancers, there’s no standard screening, which makes awareness and regular dental checkups critical.

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are common and they can affect anyone.
📊 About 1 in 5 people in the U.S. has an STI at any given time.
⚠️ Many STIs have no symptoms, making regular testing essential.
📈 Young people ages 15–24 account for nearly half of new STI cases. Stigma can prevent people from seeking care but education, testing, and treatment are key to protecting your health and your community. Community Health Centers provide confidential testing, treatment, and prevention resources for all.
