L.S.  from Florida
I never really heard much about STDs growing up.  Most of the time it was from jokes my friends made.  I broke up with my boyfriend, not long after going to school and found myself in the college dating scene.  I dated a few guys, but really didnt think much about it.  But, one day there was a table at the student center and I saw some information on Chlamydia, an STD.  The girl at the table explained that I may not have any symptoms, but, still could have an infection that could make me unable to have kids later in life.  So, I decided to get tested, and was positive for Chlamydia.  I was treated and ok, but, really shocked that you can be infected with something and really not know.  --- It was a real wake up call for me.  I am very careful now and take steps to be sure I protect myself.  I just thought I would share my experience and encourage others to be safe and understand the STDs that are out there.
