Do condoms really protect against all STIs?

 
 
Can you ever run out of semen or sperm?

 
 
Can you get HIV or STIs from having oral sex?

 
 
My partner and I just had sex for the first time unprotected.  I trust her but, how long should I wait to get tested?

 
 
If your partner has HIV/AIDS... does that mean you can’t ever have sex with them?

 
 
My girlfriend friend is on the birth control pill.  Do we still need to use condoms?  How long before the birth control starts working?

 
 
I have this new guy I've been dating for some time now. He has met my mother and now I feel like she thinks his the one for me. She wants me to marry him, she has already planned the wedding. But I’m starting to realize that I don’t like him as much anymore, it’s moving a little too fast for me. I think we should get to know one another more, but I kind just want to break up with him. My mom is a little to controlling of the relationship. What should I do? Or how do I tell my mom that I want to explore this relationship without her?
 
 
My ex girlfriend always told me that I would never be anything if we broke up and since then, I have been trying to move past her negativity. How can I at least prove to myself, if not to her, that I can be independent?
 
 
 I've been in a lot of different relationships and I ended up having a child with one of my partners. Our relationship was messy and sometimes got physical. I'm not ready to have a relationship right now but when I am ready, how do I make sure I don't repeat the same mistakes I did with my daughter's mother? I don't want my relationship to get physical with anyone else.
 
 
My girlfriend has been telling me I need to get a job since I’m 18 and my parents want me to wait on a job and focus on my education.  I have a job interview and I haven’t told either of them about it because it is scheduled during my school hours and my parents would be upset. I really want to please my parents and my girlfriend but I’m confused. They would be very upset for cutting school and my girlfriend would be complaining for turning down a job interview. Who should I please?
