Wee news item for my Ontario friends (and Canadians in general): apparently syphilis is back with a vengeance. If you've got kids, nieces, nephews, neighbours, friends in the age range / actively dating, let them know.
With 2.3 million lacking a primary care physician, it's easy to go too long without testing. Stay safe out there!

@MLClark Not sure how its setup in Canada but in the US most can get tested free & anonymously for syphilis/other STI's. I got some heat for having a talk with my 14 Y/O niece about STI's (I was like her 'other' parent) and giving her condoms. I didn't ask IF she was sexually active but felt important for her to know risks/safe behavior, before/if she was. Her mom found out about our conversation, when the school called as she was talking to other students about dangers of STI's 😉
