1 in 2 sexually active youth will get an STD by the age of 25. In other words STD’s are VERY common, and you’d be surprised how easy it is to get infected and not even know it. The popular misconception is that if you get an STD, it’s because you were sleeping around. In fact, you can get an STD the first time you have sex, if you do so with an infected person, and you don’t use a Condom. Although STD’s are quite common,for the most part they are easy to prevent.
So if you are already sexually active, it is important to get tested for STD’s. Doctors recommend that you get tested if you have been having sex without a condom, or if you suspect that your boyfriend or girlfriend is cheating on you. Getting tested is completely free and completely private for teens. Find a clinic in your neighborhood today!
