How to practice safe sex to prevent STDs

 　　Safe sex is about how to reduce the spread of sexual behaviors disease It refers to behaviors that can both reduce the risk of sexually transmitted diseases and satisfy sexual needs.

　　The safety of sexual behavior can be considered from two aspects: sexual relationship characteristics and sexual behavior characteristics:

　　From a sexual relationship perspective

　　If both parties having sex are not infected sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS virus, then any sexual intercourse between them is safe, and in this sense it is important that two people who are not infected maintain their only sexual relationship with each other. If this is not possible, then avoiding sexual activity with people you do not know and reducing the number of sexual partners as much as possible can also reduce the risk of contracting the disease.

　　Think about behavior

　　To ensure safe sexual behavior, you must avoid contact with other people's body fluids (including blood, semen, vaginal secretions, etc.) or skin Mucosal ulcers and injuries, etc. Therefore, sexual activities (such as masturbation, sexual fantasies) performed by one person are safe. In addition, some sexual activities other than sexual intercourse between two people that do not involve the exchange of body fluids (such as hugging, kissing, caressing, etc.) are also relatively safe. However, it should be pointed out that some sexually transmitted disease pathogens may be excreted from lesions other than the penis and vagina. For example, the chancre that spreads syphilis can grow in other parts of the body, and genital herpes can also grow near the genitals. Therefore, close contact with these patients still carries the risk of contracting these diseases. The risk of HIV transmission through kissing only depends on whether there are ruptured ulcers in the mouths of both parties, etc., and also depends on the way of kissing (depth and intensity). However, in general, the risk of HIV transmission through kissing is much smaller than sexual intercourse. Finally, if you are going to have sex, consistently using a quality, reliable condom every time you have sex can greatly reduce the risk of disease transmission.
