What are the ways to prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs)?
What will be an ideal response?
When correctly used, latex condoms help to block the transmission of many STIs. Condoms are most effective in preventing gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, and AIDS. Consistent condom use also significantly reduces the risk that males will transmit to their female partners the human papillomavirus (HPV), some types of which can cause cervical cancer. Although condoms are less effective against the spread of herpes than against other STIs, the consistent use of condoms reduces the risk of herpes infection for both men and women. Research has shown that safe-sex programs are especially effective if they include the eroticization of condom use-that is, making condoms part of the sensual experience of foreplay.
