#STD testing is easier than you’d think. How easy? #YESmeansTEST explains: bit.ly/2oGewSB @InfoASHA

NC's teen pregnancy rate has once again hit an all-time low. If we want this number to continue to lower, we need to make sure teens have more access to #sexed, not less. bit.ly/2AFOrcx @shiftnc

Not everyone is sexting, but perceived rates are higher than actually behavior. High schoolers who think popular peers are sexting are more likely to sext themselves. #SSSS2017

#WorldAIDSDay is an opportunity to unite in our efforts to stop new #HIV infections, support those affected by HIV, and remember those who have lost their lives to HIV-related diseases. #WAD2017
