Primary Prevention
- Risk reduction against sexually transmitted diseases through abstinence or barrier methods such as condoms, see human sexual behavior for other listings.
- Going to the doctor immediately if symptoms of PID, sexually transmitted diseases appear, or after learning that a current or former sex partner has, or might have had a sexually transmitted disease.
- Getting regular gynecological (pelvic) exams with STD testing to screen for symptomless PID. [1]
- Discussing sexual history with a trusted physician in order to get properly screened for sexually transmitted diseases.
- Regularly scheduling STD testing with a physician and discussing which tests will be performed that session.
- Getting a STD history from your current partner and insisting they be tested and treated before intercourse.
- Understanding when a partner says that they have been STD tested they usually mean chlamydia and gonorrhea in the US, but that those are not all of the sexually transmissible diseases.
- Treating partners so you don't become reinfected or they do not infect another.
