Safe Sex 101

Safe sex means making smart choices to protect yourself and your partner from HIV, STIs, and unplanned pregnancy.

 

Use condoms — every time. They’re the only birth control that also protects against most STIs.

 

Talk to your partner about what you’re comfortable with. Consent is key — no pressure, no guilt.

 

Birth control (like pills, patches, etc.) can prevent pregnancy but not STIs.

 

Safe sex is about knowing the facts, having respect for yourself and others, and making healthy choices.
