SAFE SEX

Eliminate your Risk by:

  • Practicing abstinence.

  • Only having sex within a mutually monogamous relationship with a non-infected partner.

Reduce your Risk by:

  • Limiting your number of sexual partners.

  • Knowing about your sexual partners (e.g. Do they have a large number of sexual partners? Do they have a history of S.T.I.'s?).

  • Looking for sores, discharges or other symptoms.

  • Properly using condoms: Using latex condoms and a lubricant made for condoms; Not storing condoms in a wallet, etc.

  • Condoms only protect the area that is covered, lesions outside that area can be infectious.

  • Using spermacide-nonoxyl-9.

  • Washing with soap before and after.

  • Properly using a dental dam.

SEXUALLY ACTIVE INDIVIDUALS SHOULD HAVE REGULAR STI CHECKUPS

  • Symptoms are not always a reliable way to determine if a person has an STI.

  • Many people show no symptoms, or symptoms may be hard to detect.
