A diagnosis of a sexually transmitted disease, especially a life-threatening one, is frightening. Sexually transmitted diseases, commonly abbreviated as STDs, range in how serious they are. Still though, virtually all of them require some level of treatment and attention. The best way to prevent problems with these diseases is to avoid getting one in the first place. While you may think that the only solution is to avoid engaging in sexual intercourse, you have other options to protect yourself.
In fact, sexual intercourse is not even the only way that you could end up with a sexually transmitted disease. Dispelling myths about STDs is important, but so is knowing the truth. For example, as you will learn, you could acquire an STD from an infected towel. While you don't want stress and anxiety about contracting an STD to take over your life, you should implement some strategies to keep yourself as safe as possible.
