Some Facts:
- You can still get an STD even if you aren’t “having sex.”
- You can get some STDs from skin-to-skin contact, even while using a condom.
- Many people don’t realize they have an STD because they don’t have “symptoms.”
If you are sexually active, we recommend that you get tested for STDs. Remember, “sexually-active” means ANY sexual activity, not just intercourse. Please don’t wait. This is your health and YOUR LIFE!
