Genital herpes is a widespread form of herpes and a major sexually transmitted disease today. Millions of individuals suffer from the ill effects of this medical condition each year. In extreme cases, genital herpes can affect newborn children and even increase risks of HIV. Take a look at the tips mentioned below to beef up your protection against this dangerous disease.
Genital Herpes Protection Tips You Should Know
1. Wear a condom every time - If you are accustomed to having sexual encounters with multiple persons, it makes sense to wear a condom. Unless your goal is to impregnate your partner, try using a latex condom. It sharply diminishes the risks of genital herpes.
2. Reduce sexual partners - This might sound like a direct infringement on your personal liberty. Unfortunately, it is a careful measure of reducing genital herpes. Remember that you can still experiment a lot with a few sexual partners (who have revealed their sexual histories to you). Too many sexual partners can put you at high risk.
3. Ask partners regarding sexual history - If someone is ready to get between the sheets with you, they should not really have any problems talking about their past sexual experiences. Encourage your potential sexual partner(s) to be frank in this aspect, just to be on the safe side. If they have been afflicted by any STDs in the past you should definitely have prior awareness.
4. Avoid sex with people having sores - If you come across a potential sexual partner with sores on their genitals (or in the surrounding areas), do not proceed. These might be herpes sores, in which case, you can be affected too. It is always better to be safe than sorry.
