Dr. Alvin Lin answered

STDs/STIs: Engaging in unprotected sex puts both partners at risk for both pregnancy & sexually transmitted diseases/infections (STDs/STIs), so if you've noticed anything out of the ordinary, you need to get checked out. While you're at it, ask about getting HPV vaccine to prevent certain cancers and genital warts.
