EL<br />

Until I was 22, I identified as a lesbian. Often, especially as<br />

a teenager, when I told this to others (family, friends, even<br />

strangers) they would say something like “well at least<br />

you don’t <strong>have</strong> to worry about pregnancies or STIs, women<br />

can’t do that to each other”. Due to these remarks, I did<br />

not think I needed sexual health information or HIV <strong>and</strong> STI<br />

testing, it did not affect me. Additionally, my sexual health<br />

classes never talked about sex-ed for women interested<br />

in other women; all of the sexual health information<br />

given was for straight people <strong>and</strong> gay men <strong>who</strong> practice<br />

penetrative sex. This was because my sexual health classes<br />

focused on external condoms as the catch-all safe sex tool;<br />

anything outside of penetrative sex was not important<br />

or was thought to not transmit HIV or STIs. In reality,<br />

there are so many safe sex tools for various types of sex<br />

because all types of sex <strong>have</strong> the potential to transmit STIs.<br />

Furthermore, women can absolutely give other women<br />

STIs or even get them pregnant. This misinformation<br />

shaped the way I viewed sexual health for a long time. Now<br />

I know better <strong>and</strong> so I do better; I work to educate others<br />

on safe sex practices for all sexual orientations <strong>and</strong> gender<br />

identities! Everyone deserves safe, secure <strong>and</strong> great sex!<br />

“Everyone deserves safe,<br />

secure <strong>and</strong> great sex!”
