The National Coalition for Sexual Health -- comprised of nearly 40 organizations focused on HIV, sexually transmitted diseases, and other aspects of sexual health -- last week issued a call-to-action and announced new resources aimed at improving access to and acceptance of sexual health services, which are now more readily available under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

NCSH has created a new website, www.ncshguide.org, offering tips and tools to improve access to sexual health services. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also recently launched a new web page highlighting HIV, viral hepatitis, STD, and tuberculosis preventive services covered under the ACA.
