Safer Sex

While sexually transmitted infections (STIs) affect individuals of all ages, they take a particularly heavy toll on young people. The CDC estimates that youth ages 15-24 make up just over one quarter of the sexually active population but account for half of the 20 million new sexually transmitted infections that occur in the United States each year. Harper College wants to ensure that all students are informed and knowledgeable about their safer sex choices.
