1. ongoing program: <TALK & SHARE>
<Talk & Share>, the serial program to provide practical and useful information related to sexual experiences has been ongoing every month since May. (see more info about <Talk & Share> program on our previous report)
So far, we have talked regarding STIs(Sexually Transmitted Infections), Anal Sex, Menstrual Health, Transition, and Uterine Health.
We had three talk panels in each program; the panel consisted of one medical professional, one with experience in the subject, and one SHARE staff. About 15-20 participants including adolescents, LGBTQ+ people, and disabled people joined in each program.
We also co-hosted these talk programs with the Korean Deaf LGBT and provided sign language interpretation. In the second program which talked about anal sex, a member of the Korean Deaf LGBT participated as a panel and shared his experiences related to anal sex, sexual relationship, and medical experiences as a deaf gay.
The last program will be on the last Wednesday of October with the subject 'Contraception and Termination of Pregnancy'.

2. SRHR 101 graphic info card and sign language video series
Every time the <Talk & Share> ends, SHARE makes serial online content and the Korean Deaf LGBT makes its sign language versions.
We create three series of graphic information cards and sign language videos for each subject and each series consists of 10-12 graphic cards.
We have made 3 graphic info card series and 1 sign language video content by September.
graphic info card series: Why don't we want to get STIs?
graphic info card series: The XX, who transmitted STIs to me
When is the most accurate time to share test results? How can we communicate with our partner(s)?
If we demand the most recent test results, getting tested on the same day would be the most accurate.
However, the incubation periods for viruses and bacteria vary.
Therefore, we can't cover all current infections at that moment.
It may be difficult to talk to partner(s), but we need to treat together to prevent reinfection.
It's important to address inaccurate rumors and misinformation and to learn accurate information together.
If you’re wondering how to talk to your partner(s) about sexually transmitted infections,
