8. Don\u2019t Have Sex<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nFinally, the only way to absolutely guarantee that you don\u2019t get an STD, is, unfortunately, to not have sex at all. This isn\u2019t going to be an option for a lot of people, but it does, of course, present the best course of action if you have any concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In other words, if the person you are talking to doesn\u2019t appear to practice safe sex<\/a>, if you don\u2019t have protection if you\u2019re feeling unwell yourself\u2026 then it\u2019s safer just not to have sex.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAnd if you want to be absolutely sure that you don\u2019t get ill, then you can avoid sex until you know someone intimately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s simply up to you what kind of risks you want to take, and whether you ultimately deem them worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\r\n
