Are you sexually active? Awesome! If you are sexually active you might have heard of gonorrhea, a sexually transmitted disease. Gonorrhea is a bacterial infection that left untreated can be very harmful, leading to other dangerous diseases such as pelvic inflammatory disease. So, you need to find out if you might have it! How do you do this? Next time you go to your trusted health care provider, ask them about gonorrhea and if you should be tested for it. Don’t want your parent in the room? That's okay! Before your appointment let your parent know you are ready to try your doctor’s appointment on your own. You can get tested for gonorrhea through your trusted health care provider, or through organizations like Planned Parenthood for low, or no cost. A quick google search can help you find out your options. Sex is fun! Let’s keep it that way.
