December marks HIV/AIDS Awareness month, which kicks off with World AIDS Day on December 1 each year. It’s an opportunity for people worldwide to unite to end the HIV epidemic, to show support for people living with HIV and to commemorate those who have died from an AIDS-related illness.

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are infections that are transferred from one person to another through sexual contact. Oftentimes, STIs will exhibit no symptoms, so it is important to get regularly tested.

Honor Our Ancestors, Protect Our People, Get Tested.❤

National Native HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NNHAAD), observed on March 20th every year, raises awareness about HIV/AIDS in Native communities.

It encourages events focused on HIV testing, prevention, and care, while honoring those affected by HIV and remembering our community members lost to AIDS-related complications. If you are sexually active, getting tested for sexually transmitted diseases is crucial to protecting your health and the health of others.

Together we can stop the spread of HIV.❤

In Alaska Native communities, the transition from youth to adulthood is marked by taking on increased responsibilities, such as decision making around your own sexual health. As we close out this series, keep these things in mind:

🌞 You have the power to set your own goals and your own personal boundaries.
🌞 Communication is important in any relationship, including your relationship with family and friends.
🌞 You can set your personal rules when it comes to sex. You can get tested for pregnancy, HIV, and STIs. You can access birth control. Have sex when you are ready.
🌞 Being intimate with someone creates an emotional and physical connection.
🌞 When having sex, consent is required from everyone.

As you set out to reach for the stars, remember to trust your gut, and that you are the expert of yourself.❤

Intention: I want to talk to my partner about our sexual health.

Having open and honest conversations with your partner(s) allows everyone to make informed decisions about activities they feel safe and comfortable with. When it comes to sex, it is always good to use protection to prevent unplanned pregnancy, HIV, and STIs.

Before talking with a partner about what you both want to do, it’s important to figure out what you personally are okay with! Here are some questions you can ask each other:
• Am I ready to have sex? Are you?
• What are your personal values?
• What are your school and career goals?

Communication is important because being intimate with someone creates an emotional and physical connection.
