**Warning: Unprotected sex, especially with casual partners or those whose health history you don’t know, can expose you to serious sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Some, like HIV, syphilis, or gonorrhea, don’t always show immediate symptoms, but can cause permanent damage to your health, infertility, or even be life-threatening. Always use a condom, get tested regularly, and see a doctor if you have any questions or symptoms. Your health comes first.**
