[Here is a press release we received from Health News.]

Are you sexually active? 
Have you ever been sexually active? 
Do you intend to be?

If you answered "yes" to any of the above then the October 1992 issue of
Health News contains information that you must know. 

Never easy territory to negotiate, sexual relationships are now more
complex than ever - because of the dangers of sexually transmitted
diseases (STDs), including AIDS. Health officials warn that the incidence
of STDs such as chlamydia, gonorrhea and genital warts is silently
reaching epidemic proportions. Who is most at risk of the devastating
effects of untreated STDs - sterility for example, or at increased risk of
ectopic pregnancy? Teenage girls. Especially vulnerable to infection,
young adults must heed the warnings that this issue of Health News
espouses. Read it for yourself. If you are a parent, read it for and to
your teenagers. No one can afford to ignore the today's health realities. 

AIDS is the most widely publicized STD - and the most deadly. Cutting
expertise and advice from a wide variety of professional sources, Health
News updates the status of this disease - its spread and developments.
AIDS is not confined to high risk groups Health News warns - and maps out
ways to protect yourself and those close to you from this disease that
many consider "the greatest public health issue of our times."

Finally, Health News turns probing and investigative eyes to the
"Cinderella of psychiatric disorders" - anxiety disorders - long
under-researched and misdiagnosed. Hindering the lives of millions, Health
News provides an in-depth analysis of causes and treatment methods of
these "heart-stopping" disorders. 


THE ONLY CANADIAN HEALTH BULLETIN TO COME DIRECTLY FROM A MEDICAL SCHOOL,
