Safe sex practices include using contraceptives, maintaining good hygiene, getting tested when changing sexual partners, and being aware that condoms do not provide 100% protection from STDs. It is important for individuals, especially women, to practice self-care and be aware of their sexual health status and that of their partners. California has seen record high numbers of reported gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, and congenital syphilis cases in recent years, underscoring the need for safe sex practices. A variety of contraceptive options exist but none are 100% effective without also employing safe sex practices.
