Discuss Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) before you have sex with someone. Even though a sex partner doesn't have symptoms of an STD, he or she may still be infected.

Questions to ask someone before having sex include:

  • How many people have you had sex with?
  • Have you had sex without a condom?
  • Have you ever had unprotected oral sex?
  • Have you had more than one sex partner at a time?
  • Do you inject illegal drugs or have you had sex with someone who injects drugs?
  • Have you ever had unprotected sex with a prostitute?
  • Have you ever had an STD, including hepatitis B or hepatitis C? Was it treated and cured?
