Couple quotes spotted in an article on discussing STDs in the local paper:
"Ironically, it may require greater intimacy to discuss sex than to engage in it."It's not people who know they have [had] STDs that worry me so much as the people who don't check. How can you disclose when you don't know?
- attributed to a report on STDs from The Institute of Medicine.
"If you're not ashamed about having had sex, then don't be ashamed about STDs."
- Dr. Jeffrey Klausner, director of STD prevention and control for the San Francisco Department of Public Health.
