Humans can’t stay away from sexual pleasure unless they are a saint. But at the same time, when you come in contact with another person, there is a high risk of experiencing STI or Sexually Transmitted Infections. The best way to avoid STIs is certainly staying away from sex. But do you think that is a wise choice that you can make? No matter how stable you are in your life, at some point in time, you need the touches that will provoke your desires and will generate amazing sensations in your nerves. Sex is certainly unavoidable. But the best thing you can do is take the best steps that will stop you from getting STI.
STI is not risky when you have taken the right steps while having sex with someone. We do know that things get out of control during a tempestuous sexual experience. But when you are concerned about your health you need to take the following steps. So here we go with the basic steps that can help you in reducing the risk of STI in your life.
So, let’s take a look at the following points;
Using Condoms
The term ‘condom’ comes to mind while having sex. Well, some use it mandatorily but some skip it. Well, condoms stand to be a must when you wish to reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections. It acts as a barrier not only from pregnancy but also from HIV and STIs. In studies, it is been seen that using condoms has minimized the risk of getting STIs. But it certainly can’t help you in skin-to-skin contact diseases like syphilis, herpes, and genital warps. To prevent the same you need to talk with your partner and know about your sexual history before getting intimate. But certainly, condoms have proved their effectiveness in STIs that get transmitted through genital fluids.
Go for STI checkups
There is no symptom of STI. So you can’t be sure that the healthy person you are enticing with is not passing STI to you. So it is always important to go for regular checkups to ensure that you are fit for mingling with someone. You need to ensure that you are not transmitting anything to anyone… And also check the sexual history of your partner for your safety. In this way, you can restrict a major transmission process.
Have limited sexual partners
Having too many sexual partners is not a good idea to minimize the risk of STIs. You don’t know the history of all your partners and you certainly can’t ask and collect sexual history from each of your partners. So it is better to limit your number of partners. So you will know about every of your partner you are mingling with which makes it safer for you.
To add a conclusion, you should not get ashamed and hide it if you accidentally get STI. You need to consult a good doctor and treat yourself.
