Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) are very common and can cause a variety of symptoms. Even if some people do not have any symptoms, it is still important to be aware of the symptoms that can be caused by sexually transmitted infections.
If not treated promptly, some STIs can cause severe bodily damage and can be transmitted to others through contact during lovemaking.
According to “MayoClinic,” some of the things you should do to avoid or reduce your chances of contracting Sexually Transmitted Infections are as follows.
1. Abstain
The best way to prevent getting a STI is to avoid having an affair, especially with a new partner.
2. Get Vaccinated
Early vaccination, before intimate contact, is also beneficial in preventing some types of STIs. Human papillomavirus (HPV), hepatitis A, and hepatitis B are all treatable with vaccines.
3. Communicate
Before engaging in intercourse with your partner, discuss safer intercours€ with him or her. Make it a point to agree on what activities will and will not be acceptable.
4. Stick with a single uninfected partner.
One of the most effective ways of preventing STIs is to stay in a long-term relationship in which both partners only have intim@cy with each other and neither partner is infected with s€xually transmitted infections.
6. Watch and Check
Prior to taking a STI test together, wait to get intimate with new partners. Avoid skin-to-skin contact with your partner’s and your own private organ mucous membranes by wearing protection.
7. Avoid Excessive Alcohol Consumption And Drug Abuse.
When you’re under the influence of alcohol or drugs, you’re more likely to take risks with your intimacy.
Use male protection rubber properly when sharing intimate moments with your partner to prevent infection. Where necessary, female protection is also crucial.
Make sure you heed the health advice above if you want to prevent getting STIs.
