Unsafe Sex
Facts
Men outnumber women in all types of reported sexually transmitted infections.
Unsafe sex is responsible for various types of diseases that
are spread by having sex with an infected partner. Condoms are the most effective
way to reduce the risk of contracting a sexually transmitted infection during
sex when used properly.
