Any kind of unprotected sexual activity can lead to STI transmission if someone is infected. STIs are transmitted through semen, vaginal fluids, blood, and skin-to-skin contact. Condoms prevent the transmission of most STIs, but some STIs can be transmitted through skin-to-skin even when using a condom. If you’ve had sex and don’t know your partner(s) STI status (whether or not they have one) it’s important to get tested. For free STI testing, make an appointment at Teen Clinic. For free HIV testing, call the Boulder County AIDS Project at 303.444.6121.
