8. Abstinence
 Abstinence: making the decision not to have
sex
 Abstinence doesn’t cost anything, it is free!
 Abstinence is the only 100% effective method
of preventing pregnancy and sexually transmitted
infections

9. Abstinence
 Things to do instead of having sex:
 Hold hands
 Watch a movie together
 Play a game
 Go hiking
 Have a conversation

10. Hormone = a chemical messenger in the body

11. Barrier Methods of Birth Control
 Barrier: it means “gets in the way”
 Examples:
 Condom
 Diaphragm
 Cervical cap
 Spermicide (a gel that kills sperm)

13. Non-hormonal Birth Control
 Non-hormonal: it means does not use
hormones
 Examples:
 All the barrier methods
 Fertility awareness: a woman keeps track of her
periods, body temperature, and does not have
sex on days when she is likely to get pregnant
 Non-hormonal IUD

14. Hormonal Birth Control
 Hormonal: it means uses hormones to change the
way a woman’s body ovulates to prevent pregnancy
 Examples:
 Pills - Shot
 Nuva Ring - Patch
 Implanon
 IUD

17. Emergency Contraception
 The morning after pill, also
known as Plan B
 A female can take emergency
contraception up to 5 days
after unprotected sex to help
prevent pregnancy
 It works by telling the body
to release an egg later
instead of right now.
 It is more effective the
sooner it is taken.
 It does not do anything if
you are already pregnant.
 Available over the
counter for all ages at
pharmacies
 Also available at JCPH
clinics!

18. Sexually Transmitted Infections
• Sexually Transmitted Infection, or STI:
a disease that is spread from sexual contact
• Some can be cured with medicine, but not all
• They can be caused by
– Bacteria
– Viruses
– Protazoa

19. STIs Caused by Bacteria
 Chlamydia
 Gonorrhea
 Syphilis

20. STIs Caused by Viruses
 Herpes
 Hepatitis B and C
 HPV/Genital Warts
 HIV/AIDS

21. STIs Caused by Protazoa
 Trichomoniasis

22. STIs and Teens
 Oral and anal sex still
present a risk for STIs
 You cannot tell if
someone has an STI just
by looking or asking –
the only way to know is
to get tested.
 1 in 4 American teens
(3 million!) get infected
with an STI every year

23. To Protect Yourself Against STIs
• The best way to protect yourself against STIs is to not
have sex.
• Have sex with only one person who is only having sex
with you (monogamy)
• Before having sex with a new partner, both of you should
get tested for STIs by your doctor
and treated if you are infected
• Look closely at your partner and do not have sex if there
is anything that worries you (rash, sores)
• Use condoms 100% of the time
• Some STIs can be prevented with vaccines, such as
Hepatitis B and HPV.
