Did you know that STDs and HIV affect people of all ages, backgrounds, and from all walks of life? The most common STDs in the United States are chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, genital herpes, human papillomavirus, hepatitis B, and trichomoniasis. In 2007, Washtenaw County had about 1,400 cases of just chlamydia and gonorrhea - about three-quarters occurred in youth ages 15-24 years.

STDs and HIV are spread through anal, oral and vaginal sex. Some STDs such as HIV or Hepatitis can also be transmitted by sharing drug injection equipment. STDs and HIV may or may not cause symptoms. You cannot tell who has HIV or STDs by just looking at them. The only way to know for sure is to get tested. Getting tested is a positive step towards protecting your health or the health of your partners.
