Have You Weighed the Risks?

Having sex can put you at risk for both pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases (STD). Abstinence (not having sex) is the only 100% effective way to prevent pregnancy and STDs. If you do decide to have sex, using a condom properly can help reduce your risks. For more information, download our teen flyer, check out some of our partners below, and visit our STD testing page.
