Everyday, teens across Florida are learning about sex, whether it’s from teachers, textbooks or even peers or the media. And it's not always 100% accurate.

“If you have sex on top, you can’t get pregnant.”

The best way to prevent contracting HIV is by using a condom, “or you can drink a little bit of bleach and you will be alright.”

“You can contract a sexually transmitted infection by sitting on a hotel bed or sitting on a toilet.”


“Condoms provide no proven reduction in protection against Chlamydia, the most common bacterial STD.”

(According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), when used consistently and correctly, condoms reduce the risk of STDs, including Chlamydia.)
