Exams are over, you and your friends are away from home and having the time of your life. But as fun as it is meeting new people and enjoying new experiences, it’s important that you stay safe, including when it comes to having sex.
The easiest way to do that while you’re away? Use condoms. Condoms act as a physical barrier, preventing the exchange of bodily fluids that can carry sexually transmissible infections (STIs). We get it, whipping out a condom while you’re hooking up with someone may not feel very exciting but it’s way better than having unprotected sex and ending up with an STI or unplanned pregnancy.
