No matter what, it’s helpful to have a trusted adult that you can talk to, and your Amoskeag Health provider can be that person. In the meantime, these resources can help you learn a little bit more about your body and what might happen when you have sex.

STIs (sexually transmitted infections) and STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) are basically the same thing! So, why do people sometimes say “infection” instead of “disease”? The word “disease” can make people think of a visual problem, but a lot of STDs don’t have any signs or symptoms – they’re an infection that you might not see. That’s why it’s so important to get screened if you are sexually active. That way, your doctor can help you if you need it. Learn more about STDs: STDs and STIs from GirlsHealth.gov. HOW DO I GET STDs? STDs are caused by bacteria, viruses, and even tiny insects! You can get a STD by having sexual contact with someone who has one. Sexual contact can mean intercourse or putting your mouth, hands, or genitals on someone else’s genitals. Remember, even if they can’t get pregnant, women who have sex with women are also at risk for STDs. WHAT ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF STDs? Bacterial Vaginosis Chlamydia Congenital Syphilis Genital Herpes Gonorrhea Herpes genital Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) Syphilis Trichomoniasis WHAT HAPPENS IF I GET A STD? STDs are all different. Some can be treated and cured. But you can still get the STD again if you have sex—especially unprotected sex—with an infected person. Ask your provider about treatments for your partner, otherwise you could give each other the infection back and forth. Some STDs can’t be cured, but you can help manage the symptoms. There are also a few STDs that can be life threatening without treatment. BACK TO TOP CONDOM DO'S AND DON'TS DO use a condom every time you have sex. DO put on a condom before having sex. DO read the package and check the expiration date. DO make sure there are no tears or defects. DO store condoms in a cool, dry place. DO use latex or polyurethane condoms. DO use water-based or silicone-based lubricant to prevent breakage. DON’T store condoms in your wallet as heat and friction can damage them. DON’T use nonoxynol-9 (a spermicide), as this can cause irritation. DON’T use oil-based products like baby oil, lotion, petroleum jelly, or cooking oil because they will cause the condom to break. DON’T use more than one condom at a time. DON’T reuse a condom. More Information BACK TO TOP PREGNANCY PREVENTING PREGNANCY Not having sexual intercourse – otherwise known as abstinence – is the most effective way to prevent pregnancy. But there are still birth control options that you can use when you aren’t ready to become pregnant. HAVING A HEALTHY PREGNANCY ON YOUR SCHEDULE Whether or not you’re interested in having a baby, it’s important to take care of your body by staying active and eating the right food . And if you ARE interested in one day having a baby, it’s important to talk to your provider about “Preconception health.” Preconception health is talking about how to take care of yourself so that you can have a healthy baby. If you are ready to have a baby, please talk to your provider. They can help you plan and prepare for a healthy pregnancy. You can schedule an appointment by calling 603-626-9500.

Boundaries are so important when you’re creating relationships. When you explore having sex with your partner, you need to have honest and open discussions. No one should feel forced to have sex if they are not ready or do not want to. If you are feeling unsafe with your partner, please tell someone!

No one ever has the right to abuse you! Sometimes, abuse isn’t physical. People can also hurt you by using unkind words meant to bring you down or by trying to control your actions. If you are threatened or hurt by your partner, help is available. It can be very hard to get up the courage to leave a partner who is hurting you (especially if you love them), and it can be a very complicated situation.
