Abortion is the process of terminating a pregnancy. This can be done through two different methods: medication abortion or an in-clinic abortion. The different types of abortion may be used in varying circumstances, such as how long it has been since the pregnant person's last menstrual cycle, their health history, their preferences, and what services are available in their area.

Mpox (formerly known as monkeypox) is a viral infectious disease caused by the mpox virus. Mpox belongs to the same family of viruses that causes smallpox (variola virus); therefore, the viruses are closely related.

Due to the changing legal landscape in the United States, access to abortion can vary by state. Various resources can be utilized in order to find an abortion provider and to learn about what services are available in your state. Different funds also exist to help people who need these services pay for the costs associated with it.

Influenza, also known as the flu, is a virus that has many strains and appears in the respiratory system. It can infect and cause symptoms in the throat, nose, and, in some cases, the lungs. These symptoms can range from mild to severe, and in some rare cases, cause death. Most people recover from the illness in a few days; however, some symptoms may last up to two weeks. How strong your symptoms are is dependent on which flu strain you’re infected with, your vaccination status, pre-existing health conditions, and your age.

In an increasingly digital world, there are more records of what type of information people are searching for and where they are searching for it. It's possible that this type of data can be used to prosecute those who are seeking an abortion or helping someone else seek an abortion.

Pre-exposure prophylaxis, also known as PrEP for short, is a medicine that can prevent people from contracting HIV. This medication is taken by people who don’t have human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) but are at high risk for being exposed, or coming into contact with, the virus. 

PrEP blocks the enzymes, or proteins in the blood, that allow HIV to multiply. To block these enzymes, you must build up enough PrEP in your bloodstream. Once PrEP has reached a certain level in your bloodstream, it can prevent HIV from replicating in your body.

Post-exposure prophylaxis, also known as PEP for short, is a medicine that can prevent people from contracting HIV. It can be used in emergency situations by people who don’t already have human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) but may have recently been exposed to HIV. PEP can prevent HIV from spreading through your body after a possible HIV exposure. PEP should be taken within 72 hours of a potential exposure. The sooner you start PEP, the more effective it is at protecting against an HIV infection. 

Birth control (or contraception) is any regimen or medicine used to prevent pregnancy.

Most birth control options are used by people with internal reproductive anatomy such as a uterus, vulva, and vagina, while only a few options are available for those with external reproductive anatomy such as a penis and testes.

Health guidelines for transgender people are unfortunately an under-researched topic. Most existing guidelines are extremely binary and based on sex assigned at birth, which comprises anatomy, body composition, and hormones. The research doesn’t offer much guidance for non-binary or intersex individuals. Knowing whether to follow existing female or male guidelines can therefore be confusing and often requires the guidance and support of a health care provider.

Stress is a normal psychological and physical reaction to the demands of life. Work, school, relationships, and daily hassles can often serve as stressors, or sources of stress. Stress isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Good stress, or eustress, pushes us to work harder. When this stress becomes overwhelming or hard to manage, it’s called distress and can impact your health.
