Evidence Summary, revised 2020
Rates of STIs and adolescent pregnancy in Saskatchewan indicate that ongoing sexual health education is important and necessary. Well-planned and implemented sexual health education programs have been found to be effective in helping youth reduce the risk of STI/HIV infection and unintended pregnancies. This evidence summary highlights the importance of comprehensive sexual health education and explains characteristics that make this type of education effective.
For more information about effective sexual health education, please see the complete literature review titled “Effective Evidence-Based Sexual Health Education for Youth”. The current summary was based on this literature review, as well as updated guidelines (e.g., SIECCAN’s 2019 Canadian Guidelines for Sexual Health Education).

HIV and Pediatric Treatment and Care in Saskatchewan
Report, 2012
This report focuses on the needs of children who have contracted HIV from mother-to-child-transmission (MTCT). Care and treatment needs are likely to be similar between individuals infected through MTCT and behaviourally infected individuals; however, behaviours, adherence rates, and outcomes may be different due to lifestyle, upbringing, and age of infection. This literature review seeks to address the need for this information by providing an overview of the diagnosis, treatment, care, and support needs of infants through early childhood (birth to age 6). The audience for this report includes health professionals, caregivers, and other adults who may come into contact with children infected with HIV.
