Men living with cystic fibrosis face unique challenges related to sexual and reproductive health (SRH)—including testosterone deficiency, sexual function concerns, STI management, and navigating family-building decisions like marriage and fatherhood. Many have unanswered questions and untreated symptoms, and there is a growing need for resources, research, and open dialogue.

Our patient-centered program is designed to raise awareness, provide education, and build a supportive community where men with CF can connect with providers, researchers, and each other.

What We Offer:

We host virtual meetings that create a safe space for males with CF to explore and learn about SRH topics that matter. Our sessions:

• Feature expert speakers including clinicians, researchers, and peer panelists
• Are hosted by men living with CF, who understand the experience firsthand
• Include opportunities for Q&A with specialists
• Encourage honest conversations about topics often left unspoken
• Aim to educate and empower participants to advocate for their own health
• Seek to raise awareness of the sexual and reproductive health issues faced by men in the CF community

We believe that knowledge leads to empowerment—and you don’t have to navigate these issues alone.

Please note: The information shared in our meetings and on our website is for educational purposes only. It is not intended as medical advice or treatment. We encourage all participants to discuss these topics with their personal healthcare providers.
