Protect Yourself, Protect Navajo

An initiative established by Navajo Health Education Program in February of 2024 to lower the number of syphilis and congenital syphilis cases on the Navajo Reservation through education, awareness, and screening.

NHEP developed resources important to educating oneself, partner(s), family, and friends about syphilis, congenital syphilis, other sexually transmitted infections including HIV. In partnership with NN HIV Prevention Program and other Navajo Department of Health programs, Indian Health Service, Tribal Health Organizations, and other state and county partners, we will be hosting Health Expo Events at all major service units across Navajo Nation beginning in May. Community members of all ages and all walks of life are encouraged to attend.
