If you have casual sex, whether
vaginal, anal or oral, you are at risk
of catching a sexually transmitted
disease (STIs) such as chlamydia,
trichomonas vaginalis, HIV, herpes
and gonorrhea. As GGI’s, we travel
and date far and wide so it is important to be aware that some countries
are more risky than others – flip the
pages to check out our map! But
remember, STIs know no borders.
Never take a risk, no matter where
you are.
