A Guide for safer sex

STDs -that include genital herpes, genital warts, and Chlamydia- may be spotted on the vagina. Others, like candida or trichomoniasis, may not be visible but are still contagious.

 

How to protect yourself from STDs?

The best method for avoiding STDs is the use of a barrier.

  • Latex gloves and condoms can be used for genital and anal stimulation with the fingers or with sex toys (dildos, vibrators, etc.)
  • Whether or not a glove or condom is used, it is best to start with the vagina and move to the anus, instead of anus to vagina
  • If anal sex occurs first, it is best to change gloves or condoms or to wash the hands before stimulating the vagina. This will keep the bacteria of the lower intestine away from the vagina
  • A dental dam (flat, latex barrier), plastic wrap, or a condom cut lengthwise and placed over the vagina is advisable for oral-genital sex
It is advisable to avoid sex when genital herpes or genital warts are active until all lesions are healed.
