Overview
Since there is no vaccine for LGV, methods of primary prevention include: abstaining from sexual activity, limiting number of sexual partners and using a male or female condom. The goal of secondary prevention is to stop the spread of disease. Therefore infected individuals should abstain from sexual intercourse until symptoms reside.
Primary Prevention
- Abstaining from sexual activity is the only way to prevent a sexually transmitted infection.
- There is no vaccine for LGV.
- Limit number of sexual partners.
- Using a barrier method of contraception (male or female condom) may help prevent transmission of C. trachomatis.[1]
Secondary Prevention
Secondary prevention methods are similar to that of primary. The goal is to stop the spread of the disease so infected individuals should abstain from sexual intercourse until symptoms reside.
