Gonorrhea Prevention

Prevention

The most effective way to prevent an STD is to abstain from sex. Other preventive measures include:

Always use latex condoms during sexual activity
Have sex with only one partner (who has sex only with you)
Have regular checkups for sexually transmitted diseases

Some other barrier methods of contraception may provide some protection. Talk to your doctor about your options.
