*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 disease]]s appear, or after learning that a current or former sex partner has, or might have had a sexually transmitted disease.
* Getting regular [[Gynecology|gynecological]] (pelvic) exams with [[STD]] testing to screen for symptomless PID. <ref name="pmid17888100">{{cite journal |author=Smith KJ, Cook RL, Roberts MS |title=Time from sexually transmitted infection acquisition to pelvic inflammatory disease development: influence on the cost-effectiveness of different screening intervals |journal=Value Health |volume=10 |issue=5 |pages=358–66 |year=2007 |pmid=17888100 |doi=10.1111/j.1524-4733.2007.00189.x}}</ref>
* Discussing sexual history with a trusted physician in order to get properly screened for sexually transmitted diseases.

* Treating partners so you don't become reinfected or they do not infect another.
