Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are more common than you know. In the U.S. alone, there are 15 million new cases each year. Talking to your sex [2] partners, even virtually, helps take away the stigma associated with STIs. AND it's scientifically proven to reduce transmission.

* Notify everyone you've had sex with in the past six months. Oral sex counts, too.
* Try looking through your old emails and your online address book to complete the list.
* If you decide to compose a personal message, put yourself in the other person's shoes. Think about how you were told—what you liked and what you didn't—and put the best of it into words.
* You don't have to provide detailed medical info—this email card will automatically provide links to what they need to know.
* You can send postcards anonymously or from your email address. Historically, when you tell a sex partner [3](s) yourself, it's more likely s.he will "hear" the message and get tested.
* No information will be collected or shared with any public or private agency.
