Safer Sex Basics

What is Safer Sex? 

Safer sex is taking proper precautions before, during, and after sexual activity to lower the chances of transmitting an STI or becoming pregnant

Talking to Your Partner about Safer Sex

It might feel awkward to talk to your partner about safer sex, but it's important. The best time to talk about safe sex is before you do anything. Tell your partner that you care about them and their health. Share your own history of using condoms and getting STI tested. Let them know you want to be honest!
