Shares information about HIV, pregnancy, and parenting, with the goal of showing that healthy pregnancies and healthy babies are possible for pregnant women living with HIV in Saskatchewan. The knowledge and experiences of people living with HIV and those that work in this area are shared. The DVD was created as a resource for health and allied health professionals and for people living with HIV in Saskatchewan.
The DVD shares information about the experiences of a mother and a father living with HIV, as well as those of a young adult who was perinatally infected. The following professionals also share their knowledge about HIV and their experiences working with pregnant women living with HIV: an infectious diseases specialist, an obstetrician/gynaecologist, a nurse, a nurse practitioner, a clinical pharmacist, and an HIV outreach support worker. It is the hope that in sharing these experiences and knowledge, women living with HIV will be supported to have the healthiest pregnancies and babies possible.

Youth-Created Videos on STIs and Unplanned Pregnancy
The Saskatchewan Prevention Institute works in areas of reproductive health that are of particular pertinence to the health of Saskatchewan’s population. Rates of adolescent pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in Saskatchewan are among the highest in Canada. Adolescent pregnancy is associated with poorer outcomes for the mom and the baby. If STIs aren’t treated, they can cause serious health issues for males, females, and unborn babies.
The Prevention Institute believes that young people should be included in primary prevention efforts. Youth in Saskatchewan were asked to participate in a video contest focused on helping other young people make healthy choices to reduce their risk of STIs and unplanned pregnancies.
Two of the awards went to the Tisdale Middle and Secondary School students. Jeremy Ernst developed his own video, STI Awareness, while Kanna Jorde, Kristen Wallington, and Trisha Wallington worked together to develop the STI Video. The third award was received by Alia Hogan for her video, Wrapped.
