To protect yourself from STDs you can make sure to not have any open sores (Even a cut on the inside of your mouth is considered an open sore), have yourself and your partner tested regularly for STDs, talk to your sexual partners about their sexual past and any STDs they might have had (It's hard to be tactful when asking this but it may save your life.), make sure to check yourself and your partner for any open sores and avoid those areas, or simply quit having sex.
Talk to your parents or your doctor or go to your local health department or planned parenthood office to learn more about the risks associated with sexual activity.

The person you are having sex with can have it on there thighs or mouth or even hands!If you toch there thigh and that's where they have it you will get it.

MummuM answered Saturday July 16 2005, 6:58 pm: They protect you, yes. But there is always a chance of something happening or going wrong. If the condom is out dated, or even a little hole in it could leave you pregnant or with and STD. Condom's aren't 100% safe free right now, they're only 97%. So you always have that 3% chance of something happening.

- Condoms don't go all the way do they? And all it takes for an STD is skin to skin contact.
- Ever heard of crabs? You don't even need sexual contact. They can live in pubic hair and jump to the next person.
- If the condom is defected, like the expiration date passed, or there's a small hole in it, etc, you can get an STD (or pregnant).
