Sexually Transmitted Infections: What You Should Know

Product Description

Follow the stories of six teens as they are forced to confront the consequences of engaging in sexual relations. This program presents the facts and symptoms of common STIs, the pressure teens experience to have sex, and the social and emotional fallout of their actions. It urges teens to take responsibility for their own health and see abstinence as a realistic, positive choice and the only 100% safe way to avoid STIs.

A teen hotline gives viewers the facts and advice they need. Dr. Thomas at the community clinic explains the necessity of sharing information and seeking treatment. Viewers are encouraged to seek early diagnosis of symptoms and treatment. While the benefits and limitations of condoms are explored, the program emphasizes that abstinence remains the best choice for teens.
