1 million teens become pregnant yearly

3 million teens contract a sexually transmitted disease

2 in 5 sexually active teens will contract an std

Americans spend 10 billion dollars on treating stds, not including aids

Minnesota is #2 in the nation for std's

Your PARTNER MAY NOT know HE/SHE HAS an STD...80% INFECTED DO NOT KNOW THEIR CONDITION

YOUR Partner MAY NOT TELL YOU THE TRUTH IF HE/SHE HAS BEEN SEXUALLY ACTIVE IN THE PAST

STD's ARE NOT PREVENTED WITH CONDOM USE 1)SOME STD'S TRANSMIT SKIN TO SKIN 2)CONDOMS HAVE A 17% FAILURE RATE: THAT'S 1 IN 6.

YOU CAN HAVE AN STD AND HAVE NO SYMPTOMS FOR WEEKS, MONTHS, POSSIBLY YEARS. STD'S ARE CONTAGIOUS EVEN THOUGH NO SYMPTOMS EXIST

TEENS ARE MUCH MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO STD DAMAGE BECAUSE THEY HAVE A LOWER LEVEL OF ANTIBODIES THAN ADULTS

IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO SEE A DOCTOR FOR A CHECK UP IF YOU OR YOUR PARTNER HAVE A SEXUAL EXPERIENCE OUTSIDE A MARRIAGE EVEN THOUGH NO SYMPTOMS EXIST.

AVOID THE RISKS....SAVE SEX FOR MARRIAGE!!
