ASHA is publishing the CDC’s Medical Eligibility Criteria (MEC) guidelines to ensure that accurate, evidence-based information guides decisions around sexual and reproductive health care. These guidelines help providers and the public understand which contraceptive methods and medications are safe and appropriate for individuals with various health conditions. This inclusion reflects ASHA’s commitment to empowering people with trusted resources for making decisions that align with their health needs and goals regardless of political pressures.
ASHA believes that all people have the right to the information and services that will help them to have optimum sexual health. We envision a time when stigma is no longer associated with sexual health and our nation is united in its belief that sexuality is a normal, healthy, and positive aspect of human life.
