Question
What are the measures one has to take to prevent from contracting STDs?
Solution
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) get transferred from one individual to the other through sexual contact. Adolescents and young adults are at the most significant risk of acquiring these sexually transmitted diseases. Hence, creating awareness among adolescents regarding its after-effects can prevent them from contracting STDs. The use of contraceptives, such as condoms, etc., while intercourse can prevent the transfer of these diseases. Also, sex with unknown partners or multiple partners should be avoided as they may have such diseases. Specialists should be consulted immediately in case of doubt to assure early detection and cure of the disease.
