🔆Morning reminder: Using condoms is an essential part of safe s*x!

~Protect Yourself From Syphilis and Other STDS~

💠Syphilis is spread through s*xual contact. So the best way to prevent syphilis is to get tested regularly & use condoms if you have s*x.

💠Condoms can reduce your risk of getting syphilis if used the right way every single time you have s*x. But a condom protects only the area it covers. Areas the condom doesn’t cover can become infected.

💠Get a blood test from you doctor once a year in case you have syphilis & don’t know it.

💠GETTING TESTED for STDs regularly is another important way to keep yourself healthy.

🦠GET STD TESTED AT YOUR LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT!!
