I had unprotected sex after my period. The next few days I started spotting some pinkish, reddish blood. What does this mean?

The discharge is probably just the end of your period. If you continue to have spotting after intercourse, you should visit a health care provider or make an appointment at Teen Clinic. Remember that even if you’re on your period, you are still at risk for pregnancy if you have unprotected sex. Consider using a reliable birth control method and condoms. STI transmission is another risk factor during unprotected sex. In fact, transmission is more likely during your period because of the presence of menstrual blood. Always use a condom and get tested.
