(ASHLEY) I'm not in
a monogamous relationship
00:00:02
and I just want to make sure
I'm protecting myself.
00:00:05
(DEIJA) I don't have
a boyfriend
00:00:08
but I do sometimes
see someone I like.
00:00:12
(MADELINE) I like boys and girls
but I am not sexually active.
00:00:15
(EDRIC)
Because I'm sexually active
00:00:17
I get myself tested
every three months.
00:00:22
I think your doctor's a
good person to talk to
00:00:24
about sexual health
because they can help you
00:00:26
as far as doing
an assessment of your risk.
00:00:29
Your doctor can be
a partner in your journey
00:00:32
during your teenage years.
00:00:34
It's the physician's
responsibility
00:00:36
to make sure that we take a
complete and comprehensive
00:00:38
sexual history on all patients.
00:00:40
But for teenagers,
I do it with every visit.
00:00:43
I say, "Is everything okay,
00:00:46
do we have any needs
in regards to sexual health?"
00:00:49
Sexual health is about having
00:00:50
a positive and respectful
and responsible approach
00:00:54
to sexuality
and a relationship.
00:00:56
You can't tell if your
partner has an STD
00:00:58
just by looking at them.
00:01:00
Most STDs
don't have any symptoms,
00:01:02
so a good way to have a safe
and healthy sexual relationship
00:01:05
is to go with your partner and
get tested before you have sex.
00:01:09
A sexually transmitted disease
00:01:11
can be passed on from
one person to the next
00:01:13
through any type
of sexual contact.
00:01:16
Typically penile,
vaginal, sexual contact
00:01:20
or it may be even passed on
through skin-to-skin contact.
00:01:25
I know sometimes people feel
that oral sex is much safer,
00:01:28
but you can still contract
STDs that way as well.
00:01:31
STDs, from oral sex?
00:01:33
(DR. WIMBERLY) Yes, yes.
00:01:35
(RENEE JENKINS)
The person at risk
00:01:36
for getting a sexually
transmissible infection
00:01:39
is anybody who has
unprotected sex.
00:01:41
We try to, first of all,
00:01:43
encourage young people
not to have sex.
00:01:47
But for those who
choose to have sex,
00:01:48
ways to prevent STDs,
are going to be to use condoms,
00:01:52
amongst teenagers that's
a very common method,
00:01:54
but not only using a condom,
00:01:56
but knowing how
to use the condom.
00:01:59
I had had a sexual experience
with my first partner
00:02:01
and I was like,
I need to tell the doctor.
00:02:05
And I know they're going to ask
if it was with a female or male,
00:02:08
and I needed to be honest.
