Report, 2015
Saskatchewan adolescents have high rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unplanned pregnancies, both of which are indicators of participation in high risk sexual behaviours. These indicators, along with the high rates of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in Saskatchewan, suggest that many adolescents may be at risk of HIV infection. Unfortunately, many adolescents lack the knowledge and skills necessary to prevent HIV infection. This evidence summary highlights the importance of primary prevention of HIV for Saskatchewan adolescents, including common risk factors and recommendations for adolescent HIV prevention programs.

Messages for Parents: Birth to Two Years
Information Card, Revised 2024
Parents are the first and primary sexual health educators of children. This resource provides information to help parents and caregivers promote their child’s healthy sexual development. Early introduction of sexual health topics increases the confidence and comfort of both caregivers and the child to talk about sexual health in later years. As children grow, it is important for caregivers to reinforce health messages and expand on sexual health topics.
