Highlights
In a modern-day Armenia, topics concerning reproductive health, sex and sexuality are still only whispered about

In a modern-day Armenia, topics concerning reproductive health, sex and sexuality are still only whispered about. Women’s health and reproductive choices in Armenia reflect lack of reproductive and sexual education in the country and poor access to a full range of reproductive services.

In part this is due to cultural taboos surrounding these topics, lack of educational resources, as well as an absence of qualified teachers or health professionals who are knowledgeable about these topics [5]. Our study sought to obtain data exploring knowledge of Armenian women around issues related to women’s health, sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and cervical cancer while assessing their contraceptive choices
