El alcohol tiene una gran presencia en nuestras comunidades, lo que puede fomentar un consumo excesivo. Estos factores pueden dificultar llevar la cuenta de con qué frecuencia bebemos alcohol.

¿Cuántas bebidas consume a la semana?

Música en vivo, buena compañía y momentos inolvidables.

Mientras disfruta de conciertos y festivales esta temporada, piense en cómo encaja el alcohol en sus planes. Beber menos o elegir opciones sin alcohol puede ayudarle a mantener la energía y la hidratación y a vivir plenamente cada canción, desde el grupo que abre el show hasta que termina.

Live music, good company and unforgettable moments.

As you enjoy concerts and festivals this season, consider how alcohol fits into your plans. Drinking less or choosing alcohol-free options can help you stay energized, hydrated and present for every track, from the opening act to the encore.

Having a s*xually transmitted infection (STI) can increase the chances of getting or transmitting HIV. Some STI can cause inflammation or sores that make it easier for HIV to enter or leave the body during s*x.

That's why regular testing is an important part of protecting your health. Find testing near you at www.endhivoregon.org/testing

Tener una infección de transmisión s*xual (ITS) puede aumentar las probabilidades de contraer o transmitir el VIH. Algunas ITS pueden causar inflamación o llagas que facilitan la entrada o salida del VIH del cuerpo durante las relaciones s*xuales.

Por eso, hacernos pruebas periódicas es una parte importante para proteger nuestra salud. Encuentre lugares para hacerte la prueba cerca de usted en www.endhivoregon.org/testing
