Did you know…?

  • 50% of sexually active young people will contract an STI (sexually transmitted infection) by the time they reach age 25
  • At least one out of four teen girls in the U.S. has an STI and many women who have an STI do not have any symptoms
  • 19 million new STI cases are reported each year and 50% of these cases occur in young people between 15-24
  • Less than half of adults 18-44 have ever been tested for an STI other than HIV/AIDS
  • Human Papillomavirus is the most common STI in the US - over 5 million people are affected each year
During the month of April, come to any Planned Parenthood of Delaware medical center and receive a FREE test for HIV, Chlamydia & Gonorrhea. It is very important to be tested regularly if you or someone you know is sexually active.
