Learning about s*xual health is an important part of overall wellness at every age. One key way to protect yourself and your partners is by staying up to date on recommended vaccines. 💉

Vaccines can help prevent several infections that may be spread through s*xual contact, including:
✅ Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
✅ Hepatitis A
✅ Hepatitis B

Talk with your healthcare provider about which vaccines are right for you and make preventive health a priority. 💙

It's Adult S*x Ed Month!

It may seem like everyone receives s*x ed in their teens, but that’s not the case! Many teens receive inaccurate s*x ed, abstinence-only s*x ed, or no s*x ed at all. Education is important at all ages, and it's never too late to learn something new!

You have the right to understand your body, so if you have questions about your s*xual health, reach out to your healthcare provider.

If you're looking for a trusted s*xual healthcare provider, visit a Title X clinic! Find a clinic near you by going to our website: https://fpcouncil.org/find-a-clinic/
