2. First of all, people should always avoid sex with anyone who
has genital sores, a rash, discharge, or other symptoms. The
only time unprotected sex is safe is if you and your partner
have sex only with each other, and if it‘s been at least six
months since you each tested negative for STIs.
Secondly, having sex with a condom, female condom,
gloves, and other appropriate barriers. Make up your mind
to have safer sex every time you have sex. If your sex life
involves intercourse, anal or vaginal, you must always have
sex with a condom. When used properly condoms offer
good protection against pregnancy and some protection
against STIs. Condoms are not fool proof, they do fail, but
they can help decrease your risks. If you do not use
condoms as directed their failure rate dramatically
increases.
Last but not the least, people should Have Sex Only Within
A Mutually Monogamous Relationship. Two people who
have sex only with one another don’t have any opportunity
to bring a new STD into the relationship. If you and your
partner have been tested and are healthy, remaining
faithful to each other is a very good way to reduce your
chances of contracting an STD.
