										**Prepare Before You’re There** is a campaign to make sexual health intentional.
Research shows that people may not believe they are at risk for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), even if they’re engaging in risky behavior. As a result, they don’t take steps to keep themselves healthy. Additionally, some report that unplanned sex makes condom use or in-depth conversations about risk “in the moment” unrealistic. This campaign can help people work around those barriers.**Here’s how it works:**Take a brief, interactive quiz to see if you're at risk for an STIAfter completing the quiz, access resources and tools that can help you make a “game plan” in advance
