Get Early Treatment

If you don’t know where to find help, call the Personal Health Advisor at 0800-825-1600, a 24 hour hotline.

Talk to your doctor so you can be checked for infection.

Tell your partner to get treatment so they won’t spread the disease or re-infect you.

Get Early Treatment

Take precautions during treatment and consult your doctor or clinic about when it’s safe to have sex again.

Take all your medications because even if you feel better, germs may still be in your body and the STD won’t be cured.

Don’t share medications because each STD is unique and requires its own treatment.

Facts to Remember

You can, and often may, have more than one STD at once.

STDs can be painful but some are painless so a person can be unaware that he or she has a disease.

You never develop an immunity to STDs, no matter how many times you have them.

Also, some STDs have no cure.

Facts to Remember

A person can never have an STD without his or her sexual partner also being exposed to the STD

Condoms are NOT 100% guaranteed to prevent any STD

Hepatitis B is the only STD that is prevented by immunizations.

Facts to Remember

The most serious consequences of STDs, with the exception of HIV/AIDS, are experienced by women.

The most important, long-term effect of the rising incidence of STDs may be their contribution to male/female infertility.

STDs present during pregnancy or birth can harm or kill the fetus or infant.

Plan Ahead for Safer Sex

Plan ahead so you feel and act more comfortable and at ease.

Practice What You’ll Say and Do

First, decide what you’ll say to your partner and rehearse in front of a mirror.

Get used to handling condoms so things go smoothly later on.

Set the Stage

Be sure to keep a supply of condoms handy by the bed, or in your pocket or purse.

You may find using a news or magazine story about condoms or AIDS helps you bring up the subject of safer sex.

Say You Want to Play Safe

Be honest. Say you want to be cautious because you care about both of you.

Remember, sex is more enjoyable if you have peace of mind.

Choose Safer Sex

Alcohol and other drugs- They lower inhibitions and affect your judgement, leaving you vulnerable to unsafe sex.

Sharing IV drug needles spreads infection directly.

AIDS

End the Silence

Listen, Learn, Live!

How HIV is Spread

HIV Infection

People infected with HIV:

Alcohol, Drugs and HIV

Drinking alcohol or taking drugs may make people take the following HIV related risks:
