Abstract
Crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) are nonprofit organizations with a primary mission of dissuading pregnant people from seeking abortion, often using misinformation and deceptive tactics. Other aims include Christian evangelism and promoting sexual abstinence before marriage. The centers are increasingly becoming medicalized and gaining substantial US government funding and support. In 2019, CPCs were newly awarded Title X family planning and Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program funds to provide sexual and reproductive health services and programming. CPCs particularly advertise their services to young people, who are at disproportionately high risk for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). We sought to describe the number and proportion of CPCs in the US that offer HIV/STI testing, treatment, and referral services.
