Prepare Before You're There

What to know

Prepare Before You're There is a campaign to make sexual health intentional. Nearly 1 in 5 people in the U.S. have a sexually transmitted infection (STI). However, STIs are not inevitable, and they can be prevented and treated. This campaign helps people make a plan and choose the prevention steps that work best for them!

Overview

Research shows that people may not believe they are at risk for STIs, even if they're engaging in risky behavior. As a result, they don't take steps to keep themselves healthy.

Some report that unplanned sex makes condom use or in-depth conversations about risk "in the moment" unrealistic.

This campaign can help people work around those barriers.
