Safe sex practices refer to measures taken to protect oneself and others from sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unwanted pregnancies during sexual activity. Some common safe sex practices include using condoms or other forms of barrier method during sex, getting regularly tested for STIs, practicing mutual monogamy with a trusted partner, and limiting the number of sexual partners. Educating oneself on safe sex practices and being open about one's sexual history with partners is also critical in preventing the spread of STIs. In addition, taking appropriate measures to prevent unwanted pregnancies, such as using birth control methods, also plays an important role in practicing safe sex.
