Universal STI Counteraction
A resolution to modify universal standards of healthcare.
Category: Health
Resolution: Healthcare
Proposed by: Thousand Branches
Acknowledging the continued spread of sexually transmitted infections (STI) across a large portion of WA member states; and
Discouraged by the lack of universal testing, treatment, and medication surrounding STIs;
The World Assembly hereby mandates that:
All member states must offer free (or fully insurance-covered), confidential, and universally accessible solutions to sexually transmitted infections, including but not limited to:
Accurate STI testing for all STIs; these must be available to any WA resident who fulfills any of these criteria:
Exhibits symptoms of any STI.
Is consistently exposed to possible STI transmission as a part of their profession or employment.
Has been possibly exposed to any STI since their last period of adequate testing.
Effective antibiotic or antiviral treatment/medication for all STI; these must be available to any resident who has tested positive for an STI of any form until such treatment or medication is no longer necessary or the patient is no longer a WA resident.
Member residents, upon testing positive for an STI, must, to the best of their ability, provide a list of all persons they may have come in transmissible contact with since the date they last tested negative for that STI. The clinic or organization that tested that individual must:
Privately contact, to the best of their ability and only when contact would not directly endanger the lives of any involved parties, each member of the positive individual’s list to inform those individuals of the possibility of contact and to recommend immediate testing.
Delete the provided list immediately after completion.
Never share any of the provided information with law enforcement of any kind.
Not, under any circumstances, share records of an individual's transmissible contacts with any party other than the person receiving the positive test, their transmissible contacts, or the clinic performing the test, excepting circumstances where all of the aforementioned parties consent to the disclosure,
The World Health Authority (WHA) must, using funds allocated from the WA General Fund, ensure that adequately accessible STI testing, treatment, and medication are available across member states that cannot afford such solutions by:
Expanding existing general clinics throughout member states to introduce, accommodate, and upkeep STI testing, treatment, and medication.
Providing internationally available training programs to ensure that doctors, nurses, and pharmacists are properly trained in the most effective STI-related treatments and countermeasures.
Donating supplies, grants, or labor in an effort to upkeep STI treatment faculties.
Member states must, through any previously provided reproductive education courses, provide instruction on avoiding and counteracting the spread of STI, including advocation for regular testing before sexual activity with new partners and the use of contraceptives as a preventative measure.
