Playing it safe, use condoms!

The best weapon against all STI's are condoms but dont be fooled they only help reduce the chances of infection not make you immune to them. Best advice is be carefult, talk to your partner(s) about their own sexual experiences and how many partners they have had.

Make up your own mind from there but all it takes is someones first sexual encounter to catch a disease.
