Each September is Sexual Health Awareness Month, a month dedicated to bringing more education regarding sexual health for all, to ensure everyone is healthy in their own right. This month was started by the World Association for Sexual Health, or WAS, in 2010. This year’s theme was “Positive Relationships.”

Almost all (99%) of women between the ages of 15-44 who have ever had sex have used at least one birth control methods. Birth control, sometimes called contraception, is not always about preventing pregnancy. Some women use birth control to lessen their period cramps, clear up their skin, or make their periods more regular. But, no matter what someone is using it for, there are many different methods of birth control and each one is different to suit different people! Tomorrow, September 26, was World Contraception Day -- a great opportunity to learn about all of the options available to you!
