5.   5.   Learn something new about another STD.

Maybe you have herpes but know nothing about Chlamydia.  Or maybe you once got crabs, but don’t understand how HPV can be contracted.  Now is the time to learn about other STDs and fill in the gaps of your sexual health knowledge.  You might try looking at our Sexual Health Connection page or do an online search of the diseases I mentioned above.  I also recommend regularly reading the news, as developments in the sexual health world (from vaccines to creative condom designs) are constantly emerging.

 

And don’t stop once April is over!  Awareness about STDs must continue as long as people are having sex…and something tells me that will be until the end of time. ;)

 

What are some other ways to celebrate STD Awareness Month?
