- Have sex only with a single non-infected partner.
- Dry sex, where there is no exchange of bodily fluids.
- Correct and consistent use of condoms decreases risks, but not to zero, as uncovered areas are still susceptible to many STDs.
- Know more about STDs, their symptoms and communicate with your partner about your past sexual histories.
- Being selective about your sexual activities will decrease your number of partners and your risk.
- Avoiding alcohol and other substances that impair your judgment will help keep you from - or help you deal with - risky situations.
- If you are sexually active, you should receive regular check-ups, even if you are symptom-free.
