Condoms 101: Condom Basics 📖🍆
There are condoms for both males and females. Male condoms are thin tubes that roll down over the p***s and protect against STDs. Female condoms are bigger and look like larger, inside-out male condoms that are inserted into the va**na. To be effective, a male or female condom must be put on before any s*xual activity and taken off immediately after s*x. Condoms are highly effective at preventing the spread of STDs, but as birth control, male condoms are only 82% effective, and female condoms are only 79% effective. This is why it’s important to use dual protection, both hormonal birth control and condoms! For more information, message us, or visit safes*x808.org!

Birth control is not one size fits all! 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️
There are two main tools for avoiding unplanned pregnancy: abstinence and birth control (contraception). If you decide not to practice abstinence, there are many kinds of other birth control methods to choose from. When choosing a birth control method, you should take into account what results you would like to get out of your birth control method. For example, you might just want a birth control to prevent pregnancy, or maybe you want a birth control that not only prevents pregnancy, but also has health benefits, like reducing acne or not having your period. For more information, message us, or visit safes*x808.org! You can also visit our website to find a clinician near you who can provide you with birth control. Also, go here https://goo.gl/JNn6sb to take a quiz for the right birth control method for you!

The HPV vaccine is the key to closing the door on certain types of cancer. 🔑🚪
HPV is short for human papillomavirus, one of the most common s*xually transmitted infections. Most of the time, HPV is harmless and goes away on its own. However, there are some types of HPV can cause ge***al warts and cancer in males and females. Fortunately, there is a vaccine that can help to prevent you from being infected by certain types of HPV. Some parents may be reluctant to allow their kids to receive the HPV vaccine because there is a belief that receiving the vaccine will lead to increases in s*xual activity, which is NOT true. Protect yourself and the ones you love by getting vaccinated, regularly getting Pap smears, and wearing condoms every time you engage in s*xual activity. For more information, message us, or visit safes*x808.org! You can also visit our website to find a provider that provides HPV vaccines and Pap/HPV tests.

If you are experiencing violence or abuse: There are people who can help you if you are in a situation where your safety is at risk, such as s*xual, physical or emotional abuse. If you see a clinician, you should feel safe in telling them if you feel afraid or are experiencing violence at home, school, or in a relationship. The clinician will talk with you about what you’re experiencing and find the best kind of help for you. Keep in mind that if your safety is at risk, clinicians are required by law to report cases of abuse to the appropriate person. They will talk with you about this before any reports are filed.

I’m pregnant! What now?! 🤷🏼‍♀️👶🏽🍼
If you think you might be pregnant, you can buy a home pregnancy test or visit a clinician’s office for testing. Home pregnancy tests are very accurate and can be more convenient than scheduling an appointment. However, if you take a home pregnancy test and it is positive, you should schedule an appointment with a healthcare provider right away. When seeing a provider, it is important to keep in mind that a medical provider should never pressure you into making a decision about your pregnancy.

G-O-N-O-R-R-H-E-A! 📚👩🏼‍🏫
Gonorrhea is a bacterial infection that is spread through a**l, oral, and va**nal s*x. It is one of the most common STIs and can be easily treated. However, the World Health Organization recently released a report that drug-resistant strains of gonorrhea are becoming more widespread, making gonorrhea more difficult to treat. To protect yourself, use condoms every time you engage in va**nal, a**l, and oral s*x, and get tested regularly! For more information, message us, or visit safes*x808.org! You can also visit our website to find out where to get tested/treated near you.
