Adolescent Behavioral Counseling and STIs

Adolescent behavioral counseling for STIs involves guiding teenagers to make healthy choices about their sexual activity. It aims to increase awareness of STI risks, promote safe practices like condom use, and encourage honest communication with partners. This counseling can also address emotional and social factors that influence risk behaviors. By providing information and support, it helps teens reduce their chances of contracting or spreading sexually transmitted infections, promoting overall well-being and responsible decision-making during adolescence.
