8. Prevention
If you or your partner have pubic lice, wait to have sexual contact until the lice are gone and you have treated all clothing, bedding, and related items. Condoms do not prevent the spread of lice. If you have symptoms after 10 days of treatment, you may need to repeat the process.
To prevent catching pubic lice, visually inspect a person for signs of infestation before having intimate contact. Do not share towels with other people and use your own bedding when sleeping away from home. When using public toilets, be certain they are free from pubic hair before sitting down.
