Talking about STDs, birth control, and sex doesn’t have to be awkward.
The only method that is 100% effective in preventing STDs is abstinence, but if you’re sexually active, the best way to avoid an STD is to be mutually monogamous with someone who has tested negative for chlamydia, gonorrhea and other STDs.
Condoms give good protection against STDs but it’s important for both partners to talk about their status. You should know your partner well enough before you decide to have sex. Talk about the best birth control methods for you and your partner and get tested because it’s easy to get infected and re-infected if one partner still has an STD!
