Prevent sexually transmitted disease! We know, this may be getting a bit personal with you, but I really do not want to see you ever getting an STD. That is why I decided to give you 7 tips on preventing a sexually transmitted disease. Please let me know how I do with this blog posting as I am trying to inform and help people.
7 Investigate and Observe Your Partner First
Before you engage in any type of sexual activities, that includes having oral sex, it is best that you investigate and observe the individual first. You need to make sure your partner is clean. Yes, this may sound like a no brainer, but you would be surprised at how many horny people jump to the chase without observing their partner first.
Yes, this one is another no brainer. I believe we learned this one in sex ed class? Use a condom in order to help prevent pregnancy and to protect yourself from STDs. With a condom, you can prevent sexually transmitted disease. You are not just having fun with your partner. You are having sex with all of their former partners as well. If you have any doubt about having intercourse, use a condom. Even if you presume that you are not at risk, where a condom!
There are signs and symptoms of being infected that do not show up after a couple of weeks or even months. If you do get the disease from a sex partner a couple weeks ago and you have sex with someone else, you could end up giving them the disease without even knowing you have it. It will also increase the odds that you will be infected as well.
Yes, this is a strange one, but some people do it! If you want to make one hundred percent sure that you do not get an STD, then practice total abstinence. It’s not really advisable, but some do it. I think sex is a big part of our nature and is as essential as drinking, eating and breathing. Some say it shapes our identity and personality. However, if you’re all for it, then at least you know you’re protected!
When you practice safe sex, you will have healthy sex life. This lowers your chances of getting an STD. Having a happy sex like by practicing safe sex will make you a happy person.
Hepatitis A and B can be transmitted by having sexual intercourse. It is important that you get your hepatitis A and B vaccinations. All you have to do is arrange for an appointment with your doctor. Health insurance will cover it in most cases.
1 Don’t Be Afraid to Speak with Your Doctor about Sex
Speaking with your doctor about sex is something that you should not be afraid of. When it comes to sexually transmitted diseases, no question should go unanswered and the doctor knows all of the answers to your questions.
Prevent sexually transmitted disease by speaking with your partner and asking them details of their sexual history. Share your sexual history with him or her as well. If they say they haven’t slept with anyone with a virus, then you should still wear a condom, but it is nice to know who slept with whom. You know, because then you know who you’re sleeping with! So, what do you think about my tips?

Tavia Another variant that is very popular here is to send him to the doctor to make his blood tests, just to make sure that he doesn't have any transmitted diseases. I think this is the case when you want to have a serious relationship. :)
Sheila Hey Xannyyy, I remember this conversation with a friend who wanted to get her boyfriend tested but was adamant on not getting the test herself, claiming she'd been with only 1 guy and that he was clean. a - even if you know you have nothing to worry about, how does your partner. b - and even if he does know that, it'll definitely be a comfort to him to know that he's not doing this alone!
Xannyyy Tavia, Yeah when having a serious realitonship, having tests would be the best idea. And like Sheila said both partners should go together!
Sheila Hey tavia, you're right that we should ask our partners to get tested.. but i think it's also important to get those very tests ourselves.. you never know how and when you might have contracted something even though you've tried to be safe!
Fatima Thanks for the tips. I am practicing #4. The other tips are extremely important.
Sheila Hey fatima, all the power to you sweetie!
Theo I think that the second tip is so important. When I read magazines like cosmo I'm always baffled about this "one night stand" business. It seems so reckless but it's painted as being free spirited and adventurous. I beg to differ. You're right in stating that examining a partner is important. Many people fail to do this either because they don't think about it in the heat of the moment, they don't want to offend, etc. I don't know ...seems like the most important step.
Xannyyy Theo, I'm with you there! Most people don't think about anything but at what fun they're going to have for the next half an hour or so. But does any one think about the conseguences that can really mess up your life afterwards?!
Sheila Hey Theo, though i've never had one myself, I'm not entirely against the concept of a one night stand. Sure it is a bit of a risk, but then again you could make sure you take the right precautions to minimise them!
