Text Box: KNOWLEDGE IS “POWER” BUT PROTECTION IS “RESPECT” PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR PARTNER(s) The Gateway Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence Inc, as Sisters we don’t just do fundraiser’s, we also Educate, Promote and Encourage Safer Sex practices among teenagers, young and mature adult individuals in our LGBT and Straight communities, We try to provide as much Health Resource’s and Community Outreach information so that individuals are aware of what the City of Saint Louis has to offer. HIV/AIDS and STD is still ALIVE today and in our community, so show “Respect” for yourself and your partner(s). Take responsible action so that this disease does not spread among our children, teenagers and young and mature adults, if you know, or even suspect that you have an STD, don’t put other people at risk and make sure you do what you can to protect yourself by using a condom, gloves, dental dam and when in doubt get TESTED. Knowledge, Respect, Self Care along with a festive responsible mature attitude towards Safer Sex are the keys to a healthy and fun sex life, Safer Sex counts. When your out and about around town or in a bar and don’t have protection, DON’T be shy ask a Sister or Guard for a Safer Sex kit, we usually have them available when we manifest and if you don’t know how to use one, you may want to ask a Sister or read the instructions that are included in the Safer Sex kit.
