Sexual health is more than avoiding STIs.

It includes consent, communication, respect, testing and feeling safe in your relationships.

Your sexual health matters. Testing, communication, consent and respect are all part of it. One simple place to start? Know your status.

Many STIs don't cause symptoms, so testing may be the only way to know for sure.

Talk with your healthcare provider about what testing is right for you.

Oral health is a vital component of overall health, especially as we age.

Oral diseases such as cavities and gum disease are common and can cause pain, tooth loss, and oral infection if left undiagnosed and untreated.

Poor oral health is also associated with chronic conditions such as heart disease and diabetes.

Don’t let floaties fool you.

Water wings and puddle jumpers can make kids feel confident—but they’re not life-saving devices. And they don’t replace your eyes on the water. Always choose a Coast Guard-approved life jacket. Stay alert, stay close, and stay distraction-free.
