Sexual Behavior

Unprotected sex leaves individuals at great risk for contracting a sexually transmitted disease. It is estimated that approximately 12 million people are infected each year with such a disease. While most Americans understand the seriousness of the HIV virus, they may not realize that other diseases are also transmitted through sex. For example, Hepatitis B may be contracted in this way.

It is important to continually educate people of all ages about the need for safe sex or abstinence.
