      How to prevent STDs

      Each year, 20+ million people get STIs. But here's the good news: When it comes to defending you and your partner from STIs, you can still enjoy sex with powerful protection.

      PrEP and PEP deliver the HIV protection, but wearing a condom is key in preventing STIs. Free and affordable condoms are readily available, so have some on standby for exactly when you need them.

      Condoms & Dams

      Glove, rubber, wrapper, no matter what you like to call them, condoms and dams are designed to protect you from STDs. Whether you prefer internal or external condoms, always using protection during vaginal, anal, and oral sex greatly reduces your risk of infection.

      Order Free Condoms

      PrEP & PEP

       Even if you have sex with someone living with HIV, there are medications like PrEP and PEP available that can make HIV 99% preventable. Using PrEP can help protect you long-term, and taking PEP within 72 hours of possible exposure can help prevent infection.
