    Safer Sex Practices

    • Abstinence is the only foolproof method to prevent the transmission of STIs.

    • Sexual responsibility encompasses respect for partners, communication about sexual activities, and precautions against STIs and unplanned pregnancies.
    • Protect yourself by limiting sexual partners and getting regularly tested for STIs.
