And this is why you should protect yourself....



Ironically I watched the episode of Girlfriends yesterday, where Joan's college rival admitted she had full blown AIDS.  She mentioned that her husband had been sleeping with men while married to her, and that is how she was infected with the disease.  Although that is a very sticky and inappropriate situation, I wondered how many people actually get tested and take the proper precautions when sleeping with a new partner. 

Some things to reflect on...

Get tested for HIV. To find a testing site near you, call 1-800-CDC-INFO or visit http://www.hivtest.org/.

You should get tested every year or less depending on how active you are/how many partners you've had that year.  

Wrap it up. Condoms, or any barrier methods that will prevent blood or bodily fluids from entering into the other person.

Abstinence

Being Faithful!!!

Sex may be fun and liberating, but always keep in mind there are things that you can catch that will stick with you forever...have that conversation with your partner--no matter how awkward or scary it may be.
