It recently (i.e. 5 minutes ago) came to my attention that April is STD Awareness Month!
I know, you're as excited as I am. It's pretty intense.
While we're on the subject... let's talk about STD testing. Back in March, MSNBC reported that AT LEAST 1 out of every 4 girls between the ages 14 and 19 have/have had an STD. This, my friends, is a huge huge deal.
As a sexually active person, it is your duty to yourself and to your partner(s) to be healthy and responsible. If you have multiple partners, if you don't use condoms EVERY TIME, or you've been feeling a little weird *down there* then you should make it a point to be tested. It's quick, painless, and easy. No really, I promise. Most student health clinics will be happy to perform these tests for you, or you can go to any planned parenthood clinic. Check out the link on the right for locations and other information.
