Safe Sex


Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are spread by sexual contact involving the genitals, mouth, or rectum, and can also be spread from a pregnant woman to her foetus before or during delivery. STDs, which affect both men and women, are a worldwide public health concern.

You can practice safe sex by:
Watching for symptoms of STDs, such as unusual discharge, sores, redness, or growths in your and your partner's genital area, or pain while urinating.
Not having more than one sex partner at a time.
Use a condom every time you have sex.
Use a waterbased lubricant
Being responsible; avoid sexual contact if you have symptoms of an infection.

Although most STDs can be cured, some cannot, including HIV. Ask your pharmacist for more details on STD's.
