Preventing the transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) during the sexual act involves practicing safe sex. Consistent and correct use of barrier methods, such as condoms, acts as a primary defense against STIs by creating a physical barrier to prevent the exchange of bodily fluids. Regular communication about sexual health with partners, including discussing STI testing and results, enhances awareness and promotes responsible behavior. Seeking vaccination for preventable STIs like HPV also contributes to protection. Emphasizing mutual consent, open communication, and education on STI prevention strategies collectively play a crucial role in reducing the risk of transmission during sexual activities.
