Have you ever looked “down there”? Or checked out your “private parts”? Many people don't check out their genital area, until they notice or feel something wrong. Looking at your genital/reproductive area is important in keeping your body healthy--use a handheld mirror and take a look.

Why is this so important?

It may seem awkward at first, but if you know what your vagina or penis looks like when it is healthy and normal you can tell when something is wrong. Remember, many STDs have no symptoms so you can’t always tell by looking. If you are sexually active, regular testing for STDs is important!
