The most effective method of protection against sexually transmitted infections is the continuous and correct use of condoms.

The most effective method of protection against sexually transmitted infections is continuous and
correct condom use. Some infections are transmitted by contact of body fluids carrying bacteria or
parasites with the mucous surface. The condom, which creates a barrier and prevents the contact of
body fluids with the mucous surface of the partner, is protective against these infections. In addition, it

provides partial protection against infections such as genital herpes, HPV (Human papillomavirus) and
syphilis, which are transmitted by contact with infected skin and mucosa.
