10. Good Answers to excuses for not using
condoms or oral dams !!!
Excuse Answer
I don’t have one with me To bad,, I’ll bring some next time, but for
now, no condom, no sex.
Don’t you trust me ? this isn’t about trust, it’s about being
safe. Either of us could have an STI and
not know it. We should get tested.
But you’re on the pill ? The pill prevents pregnancy, condoms
prevent STI. We’re going to use both!
I swear I don’t have AIDS ! Nobody knows for sure that they don’t
have an STI. We could both have one
I don’t like the way the feel. I feel better when I’m relaxed, and I’m a
lot more relaxed when I’m not worried
about get an STI
C’mon, just this once. Once is all it takes . It’s too risky without
protection

11. Continued …
Excuse Answer
It spoils the mood. Condoms don’t spoil the mood, but
getting pregnant or catching an STI sure
would!
I’ll pull out in time ! That won’t protect us from STI or
pregnancy !

12. The Bottom Line …
• STI can spread even when there are no symptoms.
• NOT HAVING SEX is one way to avoid STI, if you have
sex, use condom or oral dam every time is the most
important thing you can do to protect yourself from STI
• The only way to know if you have an STI is for you and
your partner to be tested for all STI.
• If you have any reason to think you might have been
exposed to an STI, you need to get tested. Early
treatment can make a big difference.

13. Continued …
• You don’t have to have sex to show someone
you love them,
• You matter, your choices matter. You decided
what’s right for you.
