Q "I'm on the pill and my mom got me the HPV shot so am I safe."

​

​

A - NOPE

Birth control pills and HPV Shots do not protect you from STI/STD's including HIV, Chlamydia, and Gonorrhea to name a few. The HPV shot is for limited strains of HPV. Talk to you physician.

Q "We use a condom most of the time, so are we safe?"

Q "My friend thinks that she will be able to tell if the guy she is with has an STI/STD and if she is not sure, she just asks and he will tell her the truth. Does she need to get tested?"

A - ABSOLUTELY "YUP"

Most STI/STD's have little to no outward symptoms. Men have a closed system that enable them to be carriers without even knowing it. Women having open systems are very, very susceptible to contract STI/STD's. Frankly, guys and gals lie when they want sex.
