Use contraception. When you're on your period, you're at higher risk for STDs and pelvic infections. What's more, you're less likely to get pregnant, sure, but it's not impossible. So if you thought this was your ticket to ride, sorry -- you still gotta stay safe.
Now is the best time to test for HIV. Know your HIV and STD status today. If you had a recent unprotected sexual encounter with someone whose STD status you do not know or who uses intravenous drugs, it is important that you get tested for HIV and other STDs today. Most people will develop detectable antibodies as soon as 2-3 weeks after exposure, but in rare cases, it may take up to 3 months.
