The CDC Branch's primary responsibility is the prevention and control of communicable diseases in Manitoba.

Our Mission:

To promote, support and facilitate the prevention and control of communicable diseases in Manitoba.

Over the last ten years, rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) have risen across North America and around the world, and Manitoba is no different. Untreated STI can cause serious health concerns such as infertility*, ectopic pregnancies** and increased risk for HIV. Click here for more information on STI prevention or call the AIDS/STD Information Line at 945-2437 or 1-800-782-2437 or call Health Links at 788-8200 or 1-888-315-9257.

* Infertility: when a woman cannot get pregnant.
** Ectopic pregnancy: where the fetus grows outside the uterus (womb). This may be life-threatening to the mother or the baby.
