Preventing a sexually transmitted disease is easier than treating an infection once it occurs. Practice safe sex Talk with your partner about STDs before beginning a sexual relationship. Find out whether he or she is at risk for an STD. Remember that it is quite possible to be infected with an STD without knowing it. Some STDs, such as HIV, can take up to six months before they can be detected in the blood. Ask about the following: • How many sexual partners has your new potential partner had? • Has he or she ever had an STD? Be responsible • Avoid sexual contact or activity if you have symptoms of an STD or are being treated for an STD. • Avoid sexual contact or activity with anyone who has symptoms of an STD or who may have been exposed to an STD. • Don’t have more than one sexual partner at a time. Your risk for an STD increases if you have several sexual partners at the same time. Condom use Male condom use • Condom use may reduce the risk of becoming infected with an STD. • Condoms must be put on before beginning any sexual contact. Female condom use • Even if you are using another birth control method to prevent pregnancy, you may wish to use female condoms to reduce your risk of getting an STD. • Female condoms are available for women whose partners do not have or will not use a male condom. • In a long-term monogamous relationship, partners may choose to quit using condoms to prevent STDs. However, using some form of birth control is important to prevent an unintended pregnancy. • Spermicide is not effective in preventing the transmission of STDs. www.webmd.com Page 4 The SENTINEL Wednesday, February 16, 2005 Next week:

The third period saw the Ice Owls completely stopped by Middle Tennesseeʼs aggres- sive offense, and the Raiderʼs scored one last time, making the final score 4-6. KSU lost the second game the next day as well. The Owls struggled for three periods, and could not make anything happen on the ice. Middle Tennessee completely domi- nated the visiting team, win- ning the game 7-0. “The boys really played their hearts out,” said Bill Morrison, Director of Hockey Operations. “Our goalie, Nathan Heffley, did an out- standing job.
