Don�t Become Another Statistic 


One in four (26 percent) young women between the 
ages of 14 and 19 in the United States � or 3.2 
million teenage girls � is infected with at least one of 
the most common sexually transmitted diseases 
(human papillomavirus (HPV), chlamydia, herpes 
simplex virus, and trichomoniasis). 
� Center for Disease Control 

 



Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs): 


. Chlamydia 
. Gonorrhea 
. Syphilis 
. Herpes 
. Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) 
. Human Papillomavirus (HPV) 
. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) 


 



How are STDs Spread? 

 


ANY type of unprotected sex 

ANY sexual partners 

ANY type of body fluid - even tiny amounts! 

Sharing needles 

Babies can be infected via mothers 

 



How to Prevent STDs 


. Do not have unprotected 
sex of any kind. 
. Always using latex 
condoms for all types of 
sexual intercourse and 
dental dams for oral sex. 
. Avoid contact with bodily 
fluids. 
. Never share needles. 


 



Final Words of Advice 


. If you have questions about STDs or birth control, you 
can talk to your family doctor, pediatrician, adolescent 
doctor or gynecologist. 
. Many clinics offer both anonymous HIV testing 
(meaning the clinic doesn't know a person's name) 
and confidential testing (meaning they know who a 
person is but keep it private). 
. Most clinics will ask you to follow up for counseling 
to get your results, whether the test is negative or 
positive
