Hookup Tip by Claudia
Sometimes warts or bumps grow around your vaginal or penis area. While they may go away on their own, you should get checked out at a clinic near you. This may seem like a scary thing, but it’s always best to be safe!
Sometimes warts or bumps on your genitals can be caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). A condom may not fully protect you from HPV. HPV can be spread with skin-to-skin contact alone. One of the best ways to stay protected is to get the HPV vaccine, it takes just three shots to totally protect you from dangerous HPV! Guys and girls 26 years old or younger can get this vaccine for free or at reduced cost in a local clinic, and you don’t need permission from your parents. It’s very important to stay protected and take care of your body so don’t hold back on getting HPV vaccination if you haven’t yet.
To get an STD test or an HPV shot, you can find a clinic near you or you can text CLINIC + your zip code to 61827.
