June 2014 - Sexual Health Responsibility

Welcome to the June 2014 Amplify Your Expertise. This blog was created to showcase little or unknown health issues. For the month of June we have decided to speak about taking responsibility for your sexual health sponsored by Henderson-Hughes Health Partners (H3P).
Unprotected sex happens every day. Whether a one-night stand or in a relationship babies are being created and born daily. Though many of these babies are viewed as blessings, many of these babies are being born to parents that are not ready for the responsibility of parenthood. What then becomes of these children? Some of these children are cared for by relatives, others end up in state agencies, and sadly some of these children end up dead. One would think that the parents mentioned are teens but the ages of these parents vary.
On the other side unprotected sex exposed people to sexually transmitted infections and yet people still are risking their lives daily. Some are even going as far too purposely infect their partners with sexually transmitted infections.
In a day and age where technology is available to everyone how is it possible to still have unplanned pregnancies and spread of sexually transmitted infections? Turn on any talk show or pick up a tabloid magazine someone is pregnant, cheated, etc. The excuse of passion, alcohol, or one thing lead to another is always used. The fact of the matter is that these people chose to engage in unprotected sex and now they have to deal with the consequences of their actions.

Henderson-Hughes Health Partners (H3P) has two programs that address sexual health responsibility. Teen Educated Against Sexual Endeavors (T.E.A.S.E) and the H3P Senior Initiative. These programs are designed to reduce the spread of sexually transmitted infections in the both the teen and senior demographics.
