Take Your Time
Abstinence is effective in preventing pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, but only works if you don't have sex of any kind.
 
   
 
Talk About It
It is important to be able to talk about sex with your partner. Direct conversations can be uncomfortable but get easier if you know your facts.
 
   
 
Use Protection
Even if you are using other forms of birth control like the Pill, the Shot and the Patch, the only way to protect yourself against HIV and other STDs.
 
   
 
Get Tested
An estimated one in four people who have HIV in the United States do not know they are infected. Getting tested for HIV is confidential and quick!
