Protecting yourself when you are sexually active is important to prevent unplanned pregnancies and to stay healthy. In Arizona, 1 in 4 teenage girls (ages 14 to 17) currently has an STI. Infections like gonorrhea and chlamydia dont always have symptoms; and, if left untreated could lead to more serious health problems, including sterilization. More than 90 percent of Planned Parenthood Arizonas services are preventive health care and education. Sexually active individuals should make STI and HIV screening part of their annual health check-up.
