Here are some effective measures to prevent the spread of STDs:

　　When a sexual partner is found to have lesions, ulcers or abnormal discharge on the external genitalia, sexual intercourse must be avoided and the partner must be asked to come to the hospital Hospital Provide diagnosis and treatment.

　　2. Use barrier tools:

　　Tools such as condoms and vaginal diaphragms can not only prevent pregnancy, but also prevent many sexually transmitted diseases. Experiments have proven that condoms have a barrier effect on pathogens that cause sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea, syphilis, genital herpes, genital warts, AIDS, giant cell inclusion disease, and chlamydial infection. In addition, condoms and diaphragms reduce frictional injuries during intercourse and protect the external genitalia from contact with hidden infectious secretions.

　　3. Keep yourself clean:

This is a very safe and easy prevention method. Many STDs are often asymptomatic in their early or mild stages, such as gonorrhea, genital herpes, condyloma acuminata, non-gonococcal urethritis, AIDS, etc. After infection, they cannot be identified in time. Only by "keeping oneself clean" and avoiding extramarital sex will the risk of STD infection be avoided.

　　Bad sexual behaviors such as oral sex and anal sex can increase the risk of sexually transmitted diseases. Take anal intercourse as an example. Because the rectal epithelium is usually more delicate than the vaginal epithelium, anal intercourse is more likely to damage the mucosa and cause infection than vaginal intercourse. Avoiding oral-anal or digital-anal sex can reduce the chance of infection.
