How can I protect myself from chlamydia and gonorrhea?
• The only sure way to prevent getting chlamydia or gonorrhea is to not have sex, or to have sex with someone who only has sex with you. • The risk for chlamydia and gonorrhea is related to the number of sex partners you have. The more sex partners you have, the greater the chance of infection • Using a condom every time you have sex will help protect you from getting an STD. Condoms also help to prevent pregnancy. • If you have sex, you may want to limit the number of people you have sex with. • Remember that each time you have sex with somebody, you can get an STD that your partner got from any of their other sex partners. • Guys who are having sex should talk to their doctor about their risks and when to get checked for STDs. And if you have symptoms, or your sex partner finds they have an STD, get checked right away..
