If Not Yours...Whose?
It's Your Sex Life is all about you. Along with our partners (not that kind of partners), our campaign puts you in control of your sex life and your health.
 
 
 
 
 
 
   
 
Get Tested
An estimated one in four people who have HIV in the United States do not know they are infected. Getting tested for HIV is confidential and quick!
 
   
 
I Didn't Even Feel It
Briana and Abhishek take the test at a New York clinic and have their results in 20 minutes.
 
 
 
 
 
 
   
 
Take Your Time
Abstinence is effective in preventing pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, but only works if you don't have sex of any kind.
 
   
 
Talk About It
It is important to be able to talk about sex with your partner. Direct conversations can be uncomfortable but get easier if you know your facts.
 
   
 
Use Protection
Even if you are using other forms of birth control like the Pill, the Shot and the Patch, the only way to protect yourself against HIV and other STDs.
 
   
 
Pos Or Not
Challenge your assumptions about who is HIV+.

It's Your (Sex) Life Organized by thinkMTV on 9/3/2008
Location: New York, NY 10036
Being in control and smart about the choices you make in your life - and that includes about sex - is what think: IYSL is all about. Get more information about sexual health and find out where to get tested for HIV and other STDs and meet others who are thinking about how to protect themselves, their partners, their communities, and how to fight HIV/AIDS on a global scale.
