both get tested before stopping condoms?”
These questions are about mutual responsibility rather than suspicion.
And remember: being tested isn’t an accusation.
It’s simply healthcare.
13. Vaccination Can Provide Additional Protection
Vaccination is another important part of sexual health.
The HPV vaccine, for example, helps protect against infections with HPV types associated with several cancers and genital warts.
Hepatitis B vaccination can also protect against hepatitis B, which can be transmitted through sexual contact.
Whether a particular vaccine is recommended depends on factors such as age, vaccination history, and individual circumstances.
A healthcare professional can explain what’s appropriate.
14. Don’t Rely on Appearance
One of the most dangerous myths about sexual health is that you can identify an STI by looking at someone.
You can’t.
A person can look completely healthy and still have an infection.
Likewise, someone with a visible skin condition may not have an STI at all.
