Safer Sex
Safer sex is important for everyone. We all want to protect ourselves from unintended pregnancy, HIV, and STIs (sexually transmitted infections).
Remember:
- Choosing not to have sex provides 100 percent protection from HIV, STIs, and pregnancy.
- Using alcohol or drugs can impair your judgment and make you less able to make good decisions about sex.
- Use a condom every time you have oral, anal, or vaginal sex.
- There are ways to express sexual feelings without having sex – masturbation, massage, and kissing are all low or no-risk activities.
Learn how to properly use a condom with this video from Trojan Condoms. While this video shows a heterosexual couple using a condom, the lesson is universal to people of all sexual orientations!
Transgender and Safer Sex
If you are transgender, safer sex might be confusing. If you have
recently transitioned or are transitioning, you might not be aware of
the risks or might not yet feel comfortable talking about protection
from a new point of view. But remember that whether or not you are ready
to talk about it, HIV and STIs are still a very serious risk. Make
safer sex your first priority!
- Use a condom or a dental dam (a latex square placed over the contact area) whenever you have vaginal, oral, or anal sex.
- HIV is transmitted through blood and sexual fluids. Be careful about coming into contact with either, or with open sores.
- Some kinds of STIs are spread through skin to skin contact. Condoms can provide some protection against these.
- Remember to use a new condom at every act of sex.
