GYT: Safe sex slogan for the Internet age

Get Yourself Tested (GYT)!

Get Yourself Tested is an award-winning national campaign to encourage sexually transmitted disease (STD) testing. The organizations behind this campaign include the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Kaiser Family Foundation, Planned Parenthood, MTV and many others.

This year GYT is rolling out a series of new initiatives on the air, online, at college campuses and in thousands of health centers and clinics across the United States.

Why is the focus on testing? Many sexually active young people have STDs — and spread them — without knowing it. That's one of the reasons why up to half of that group will have an STD by age 25. GYT aims to change that by:

Normalizing conversations about sexual healthInforming people about STDs Encouraging STD testing as a routine part of health care   Connecting young people to testing centers

The GYT Campaign will be visible in many ways! Watch for:
