This book gives information primarily from official government medical
sources on the most common STDs extant in the United States, including
description of symptoms, more than 70 figures and photographs, what to
do to reduce risk of exposure, and what to do if you think you might have
been exposed.
If you are concerned, then do something. Inactivity and ignoring
information will not make it better.
Buy this book and share it with your friends—illnesses like STDs will
only thrive in darkness and ignorance.
