Older doesn't necessarily mean "wiser" when it comes to preventing Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs). According to the National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior, condom use for vaginal/anal intercourse is lowest among older adults -only 5.1% of men and 7.4% of women used condoms during recent sex.
Join Eisenhower Health tonight @ 5:30 PM for a chat about STIs with Physician Assistant, Jon Colbert.
No cost to attend. Registration is requested as space is limited! Call 760-416-7790.
