This lecture by Chris Beyrer covers 3 topics: 1) How human rights abrogation or protection can affect the health of individuals, communities, and populations; 2) How sexual rights violations are a subset of threats to human dignity. Forced, coerced, and higher risk sexual exposures are highly correlated with adverse sexual and reproductive health outcomes - including STI and HIV; and 3) How responses that address human rights may improve STI prevention and control, and better human rights contexts for those at risk.
