Hookup Tip #28: Before you mix birth control pills w/other meds, talk to ur doctor.

If you see a doctor for any reason, tell the doctor that you are using birth control. Some medicines may keep your birth control from working as well. If you need to take one of these medicines, you may need to use a back up method of pregnancy prevention, like condoms, until you finish the medication. Your doctor will tell you if this is necessary.

Hookup Tip #27: Think ur clear if you don’t have symptoms? Most STDs don’t show. Get tested.

STDs are infections that people usually get by having sex with someone who already has one. Some STDs can be treated and cured with antibiotic medicine. Others cannot be cured, but many of those can be treated to make them easier to live with.
