The Facts: About Safe SEX

We believe in the ABC’s…”Abstinence Before Condoms”

but…

With so many battles to fight…IT’s the only weapon!

Unfortunate Facts
The numbers don’t lie…the statistics related to STD’s, HIV, and AIDS are sadly real. Which means the unfortunate fact is this: No one is immune. Bottom line? If IT’s not on, IT’s not in! This should be the motto of today’s sexually active youth, and adults. They must adopt IT if they want to live longer, healthier, and happier lives.

* Everyday over 7,000 young adults become infected with HIV.
* Over 8,500 people die from AIDs everyday…that’s 1 every second!
* There are over 33 million people currently living with HIV.
* One child will die of AIDs every minute.
* Condoms are 99% effective at stopping the spread of STD’s and immdiately reduce the risk of getting and passing on HIV.
* There is still no cure or vaccine for HIV or AIDS…

So If IT’s Not On, It’s Not In!

The Realities

* Nearly half of all pregnancies in the U.S. are unplanned.
* More than 2/3 of all pregnancies to unmarried women and 82% of teen pregnancies are unplanned.
* The U.S. has the highest teen pregnancy rate in the industrialized world.
* Just recently the Guttmacher Institute released a report stating that teen pregnancy has increased 3% among 15 to 19 year olds and There are over 750,000 teen pregnancies annually.
* Plus, nearly half of all 15-19 year olds in the United States have had sex at least once.

Remember…Using IT $1.00…Not being called Mom or Dad…Priceless!
