Guidelines For Safer Sex
- Alcohol and drugs impair your decision-making ability and leave you very vulnerable to acquiring a sexually transmitted infection
- Some people feel uncomfortable in social situations unless they use alcohol or drugs
- Reduced judgment from drinking or using drugs results in doing things you would not have done if you were not intoxicated
- Take time to assess your feelings and work issues through before beginning a new relationship
