==Community Rules==


1. People's choices are their own. This is an open community where users decide what is the healthy, safe and viable for them. So, whether it's getting an abortion or having a baby, getting an STD test or buying STD medication, we don't judge our users' decisions. We provide the information and let them make the choice.  
1. Respect people's personal health decisions. This is an open community, and different people will make different choices. Our job is to simply provide the information, as fully and accurately as we can, and let the users make informed decisions.


2. Real Information. Please contribute -- but only if you know the information  is '''true'''. Inaccurate or outdated information can make people feel discouraged and waste their time. Of course, some information will eventually get outdated. But, to the best of your abilities, try to make the information up-to-date.

3. No advertisement/promotion from private physicians. If you recommend a physician (for example, a gynecologist), because you had a positive experience, please contribute this information. But, if you work for that physician or are in any way affiliated with a physician, please refrain from adding info on that doctor. Physician recommendations are supposed to be based on personal experiences of actual patients.
