In the wintertime, you need to protect your body from the bitter cold so you won’t freeze to death. When it comes to your dreams and aspirations, you need to protect your goals from negative people who don’t see the vision that you see. When it comes to your mind and spirit, you need to protect yourself from miserable people who want you to experience what they’re going through because misery loves company. There are so many ways that you protect yourself and so many things that you need to protect yourself from in this lifetime but there is one way that many people seem to forget when it comes time to protect themselves and that’s through sex.

How You Could Be Living With Undiagnosed STDs
Safe sex isn’t only about using protection, it’s also about speaking with your partner or whoever you are having sex with. It’s going to get tested at least twice a year or every 3 months if you are intimate with multiple people or new people. Safe sex is asking the people who you are sleeping with when was the last time they were tested and how often they get tested. It’s extremely important to do these steps as well when practicing safe sex because you could be living with undiagnosed STDs and STIs.
If you are not getting tested often, but having sex unprotected even if it’s only with one person, then you have a higher risk of contracting or already having an STD.
