National Men’s Health Week – June 14th to 20th
June 14-20th is National Men’s Health Week and June 20th is Father’s Day.
Lets celebrate both by sharing the gift of knowledge. Here are some key facts about STD/STI’s that every man should know.
STD/STIs are certainly a critical piece of the sexual health puzzle but being sexually healthy is about much more.
Our most basic advice is:
- Abstinence is good and can happen at different times in life
- Talk to your parents, they were your age once
- Talk to your partner (before you have sex)
- Make sure you and your partner know how to use a condom correctly
- Find a good healthcare provider and talk to them
- Get help if you don’t think you’re in a healthy relationship
- Get yourself tested and make sure your partner gets tested (before you have sex)
- Take advantage of the vaccines that will help protect you
- Learn what you need to know–and keep learning
- Your sexual health is important–-you have a right and a responsibility to protect it!
