David Harvey, Executive DirectorWhat is 20/20: STD Day of Action?
On June 21, NCSD is hosting an STD Day of Action (DOA) called 20/20: STD DOA to bring awareness to the raging STD epidemic in this country. The goal of 20/20 is to illustrate that we are seeing STD rates at 20 year highs with funding levels at 20 year lows, and we have a vision for a healthier America. We need to protect STD Prevention!
