How does one protect themselves from sexually transmitted infections (STIs) while engaging in prostitution?

### REPLY:
When engaging in prostitution, it is crucial to take precautions to protect yourself from STIs. Use condoms for all sexual activities, including oral, vaginal, and anal sex. Regularly get tested for STIs and encourage clients to do the same. Consider using dental dams or latex gloves for additional protection. It's also essential to negotiate safe practices with clients, such as avoiding certain activities or using specific precautions.
