“Get Yourself Tested” has been a massive campaign to help encourage young people to have STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease) testing. Many national organizations recommend testing every year until you are 25 years old. After you are 25 years old, you may be tested if you are at risk, but not automatically.
Why?
- 1 out of 6 kids has Herpes.
- 1 out of 4 girls age 13-19 has an STD.
- 1 out of 3 new cases of HIV/AIDS are in someone aged 13-29.
- 1 out of 2 - Your chance that you will not be able to have children if you have chlamydia that is left untreated.
- Are you 'that 1'??
