So often, it is assumed that the risks of HIV/AIDS are a single-person's problem; that the risks of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are eliminated by the professed/implied monogamy of marriage. In reality, marriage often serves as a greater threat to women who cannot practice abstinence, are forbidden from using contraception, and cannot control the "faithfulness" of their husband.
Population Action International (PAI), a DC-based advocacy group that focuses on sexual and reproductive health and rights in the developing world, has released its newest documentary entitled, "The Silent Partner: HIV in Marriage." Check it out!

Hi,
1 in 4 sexually active teenagers become infected with an STD every year, in the United States alone. Now, more than ever, we need to join together to fight this growing issue. As I read through your website, it is clear that you share the same passion for STD/STI awareness. We here, at Disease.com, understand the importance of STD/STI prevention and treatments. If you could, please list us as a resource or host our social book mark button, it would be much appreciated. We can not reach every teenager, but together we can try.
If you need more information please mail me with the subject line as your URL.
Thnak You,
