As a teenager, it can be difficult and rather awkward to approach your parents with questions about sex. For many teens, it can be easier or more comfortable to go to their friends for advice. However, there is a great deal of incorrect information out there and it is important to know what information should be accepted as fact.

In today’s society, with all the access to information we have on the internet, it can be extremely difficult to judge what information is accurate and what is not. The Teen Talk Team at San Antonio AIDS Foundation (SAAF) has created this website to provide access to detailed and accurate information about sex, life and everything else that comes along with being a teen.
