#STIs are common across the board, but some racial & ethnic groups are hit especially hard. Systemic racism is a health crisis! We must work collaboratively to advocate for and implement social, cultural, & economic changes that make it easier for people to access quality care to stay healthy. @CDCSTD bit.ly/3RWAYlx #STIreport
