If you do not have sex life, the risk will certainly be a lot lower. Yet, it is true that most of us enjoy sex and we certainly love the pleasure of sex. It will be quite impossible for us to avoid sex totally. People who are constantly seeking for one night stand and people who have a lot of sex partners are probably have higher risk of STD infection. It is not difficult to understand this. You will have a chance of getting the disease when you are having sex with a partner. And the chance of getting infection will be higher if you have more sexual partners. Yet, this does not mean that there will not be problem if you have only one partner. There can still be problems if you are one of the many partners of your partner. Besides, some people will tend to believe that they will not be get infected if they do not have actual intercourse. However, this is certainly a wrong concept. You can also be infected even if you only have oral sex. Even kissing can transmit diseases. Gonorrhea is certainly an example of it.

A female should insist if the partner does not want to use it. You should insist not to have sex if you partner does not want to use a condom. Remember to have regular body check. In fact, you do not only check for STDs when you are having your body check. It will be beneficial to your health anyway if you can have an annual body check!
