I talked to my group (guys and girls) about the possibilities of getting STD'S and other diseases. They all agree that if they actually have sexual inter courses that they should get tested before and after.

I agree fully with what your saying. They should also use protection. Or better yet just don't do it at all.

I agree with what you're saying too.. i talked to the kids at my school about the importance of abstinence but most of them shared no interest which is really sad.. i believe in abstinence and you shouldn't have sex before marriage.

ME AND MY FRIENDS TALKED ABOUT PEOPLE WE KNEW WHO ACTUALLY DIED FROM HIV. THIS MADE ME REALLY SAD WHEN WE TALKED BECAUSE MY GRANDMOTHER DIED FROM HIV AT AGE 53. I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW ESPECIALLY IN THE DMV AREA HOW IMPORTANT SAFE SEX IS.

Now I've had sex, and the partner that I was with were all clean(well ok idk about one but he's an exception&i think he used protection) and I know protection doesnt always make it safe.I want to get tested and I think I will.It's just my parents don't know I'm not a virgin anymore so I don't want them to know.
And plus, what is safe gay sex? I mean really you hear about safe straight sex all the time but I really want to know how I can be safe with a girl I'm with.

its always better to be safe than sorry nobody is perfect we all end up having sex un protected one time or another but when you do it is always best to get tested as soon as possible even if the person you were with was clean in your eyes!! because you never know?? but jus try practicing safe sex its your best option especially if your not married!
