Sexual Health and Technology

Chlamydia is the most common STI in the United States, with over 1.3 million cases reported in 2018.

Abstinence is the only 100% effective way to prevent STIs.

STIs can cause a variety of symptoms, including genital itching or burning, discharge from the penis or vagina, painful or burning urination, and sores or bumps on the genitals.
