" Ive heard that STD rates are up in this country. Im divorced and dating; what can I do to protect myself? Always use a condom, no matter what your partner says. Using latex condoms can help prevent all STDs, from HIV to HPV. Carrying them with you will help you take control of your own sexual health and let you be spontaneous too. Limiting the number of your sexual partners also lowers your risk. And finally, remember: Unprotected oral sex is not safe sex. STDs can be transmitted this way as well.
