Why Choose Abstinence?
Abstinence from sexual activity—any sexual activity, including oral sex—or lifetime faithfulness to one uninfected partner (as in marriage) is the only certain way to be safe. If you’ve already had sexual contact, get checked for STDs and tell your friends about the risks. You may also want to consider “renewed” virginity—it’s not too late to start over!. If you haven’t had any sexual contact with anyone, ever, congratulations on making the healthiest choice!
