Terms and Conditions

  • Initial questions must be no longer than 1,000 characters, including spaces (about 200 words) and must be posted in the initial space provided. Longer questions that exceed the automatic limit or that are continued in a second comment window will be deleted without reply.
  • A maximum of two follow-up questions are permitted after the initial question is asked.
  • We do not allow any questions or comments that are repetitive nor do we permit the use of any language that is abusive, harassing, or hateful. Such questions will be deleted and no refund will be provided.
  • Each user is limited to two questions in any 6 month period. This policy assures that the forum will not be dominated by relatively few users, and is also intended to limit anxiety related questions with little educational value. Third and subsequent questions, and repetitive questions that in the opinion of the moderators are driven by anxiety or have obvious answers, will be deleted without reply and without refund of the posting fee.
  • Do not post any identifying information (such as your real name, phone numbers or address)
  • Do not post any photos or images.
  • Neither the American Sexual Health Association (ASHA), nor its representatives, will provide medical advice.
