Prevention of Sexually Transmitted Diseases:

The best way to prevent STDs is to avoid sexual contact with others. If you decide to be sexually active, there are things that you can do to reduce your risk of developing an STD. 

• Have a mutually monogamous sexual relationship with an uninfected partner.
• Correctly and consistently use a male condom.
• Use clean needles if injecting intravenous drugs.
• Prevent and control other STDs to decrease susceptibility to HIV infection and to reduce your infectiousness if you are HIV-infected.
• Delay having sexual relations as long as possible. The younger people are when having sex for the first time, the more susceptible they become to developing an STD. The risk of acquiring an STD also increases with the number of partners over a lifetime.
