How can I practise safer sex?
There are a number of ways in which you can have safer sex in order to protect yourself and partners from sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and from unwanted pregnancy. These include using condoms, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), to protect against the transmission of HIV, and different contraceptive methods.
In this booklet, we have chosen not to refer to any one of these specific methods, and encourage you to make your own decisions about protecting yourself and others in each instance of sexual activity you undertake. Your local sexual health clinic can provide you with free STI testing and information and advice on practising safer sex.
