What can i do to keep from getting an sti/std?

Avoid exposure: The best way to avoid an std is to avoid exposure. Condoms will help, but they are not 100% either.

See below: 1. Know your partner and his/her history before having sex with them. 2. Use protection - condom for example. 3. Don't have multiple partners - your probability of acquiring an std increases. 4. Get tested often.
