Preventing STIs

Preventing STIs is about taking care of yourself, and your communities. Being aware of the multitude of strategies out there to prevent both getting, and passing along, STIs lets you choose the level of risk you are comfortable with, and the strategies that are most effective for you. We always recommend combining prevention methods, and prioritizing communication with your sexual partner(s) to make sure that everyone involved is comfortable with the strategies being used and the risk involved.
