What is Herpes?
8. Prevention
Anybody can become infected with genital herpes. The only way to be sure to avoid it is to not have sex, although even this is not a guarantee. However, people that take appropriate cautions are a lot less likely to catch it than those that don’t.
Being careful with sexual partners can help, and try to avoid sex with other people who are known to be promiscuous. Reducing the number of people you have sex with will also make it less likely that you catch genital herpes. When you do have sex, it is a good idea to use condoms that will offer some protection against transmission of the disease.
