1. Will a condom guarantee total protection
against sexually transmitted diseases (STD)? No. No condom can give a 100% guarantee against STDs. Most health experts believe that the risk of contracting STDs will be greatly reduced if a condom is used properly. 2. How do I choose the right kind of condoms to prevent STDs? Always read the label carefully. The label should say that the condoms are to prevent STDs. Certain condoms such as Novelty condoms are for sexual stimulation only. Use latex (rubber) condoms only. Tests have shown that latex condoms can act as a barrier against transmission of infectious disease germs. Lambskin (natural) condoms are ineffective in preventing infection. 3. What if my partner refuses to get medically tested for STDs before we get into a sexual relationship? Do not have sex with anyone you are not sure about. Better to be safe than sorry. 4. If I have had casual sex with an unknown person at a wild party how will I know if I have or haven’t contracted a sexually transmitted disease? See a doctor the very next morning. Most STD germs will be dormant for even six months before the disease symptoms appear. |

Posted on: 05/21/2009 The only way to avoid STD is not to have sex at all. There is no other way. The current prevalence of HIV/AIDS and Chlamydia makes it difficult on today's youngsters. Sexual hygiene is seldom impressed on and one should wash the genital area a few times like you wash your face but don't scrub it with soap etc. It helps to lessen the chances of infection.

Posted on: 12/02/2009 the only way is not to have sex at all? maybe u say it coz u are a virgin. trust me, if you experience for the first time, you wont be able to stop! esp if you are with a love of your life. i think the tips of safe sex described above are very good, and its important to get yourself checked by doctor regularly.
