Thinking that a person doesn't "look" like the type

to have a sexually transmitted disease can be a dangerous assumption. People who believe they are "safe" because of the way their partner looks, or because he or she sincerely believes their relationship is monogamous, are very often surprised to find out that they have acquired a Sexually Transmitted Disease.

STDs are spread during close sexual activity. Some STDs, like HIV and Hepatitis B can also spread by contact with infected blood. Anytime you have sexual contact with another person, you run the risk of getting an STD. Proper use of condoms can help, but the truth is, only abstinence works 100% of the time to protect you from an STD, HIV/AIDS, or from getting pregnant..
And the only sure way to know if you are infected is to get checked and get tested.
If you are having sex, protect yourself and your partner:

We offer free, confidential walk-in STD clinics from 9:30am to 11:00am Tuesdays and Fridays.
