Preventing Sexually Transmitted and Blood Borne Illnesses

Are you at risk for HEPATITIS B, HEPATITIS C or HIV?

Have you ever:

□ Had sex without a condom?

□ Had oral sex?

□ Used a needle that was used by someone else?  (for drugs, piercings, tattoos)

□ Used drug tools that were used by someone else?  (pipes, straws, spoons, filters, water)

□ Shared sex toys?

If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions GET TESTED.

PROTECT YOURSELF, YOUR FAMILY, YOUR FRIENDS.

• Always use lubricated condoms for sex (vaginal or anal)
• Use dental dams or condoms for oral sex
• Never use someone else’s needles, spoons, straws, water, filters or pipes
• Get tested and treated for sexually transmitted infections
• For your general health, you should never reuse needles
