STDs spread quietly and can cause serious health issues if ignored, but the good part is - they are mostly preventable with simple habits.

• Always use condoms: They act like a shield against infections, not just pregnancy.
• Be mindful about partners: Avoid unsafe or multiple sexual relationships.
• Get regular check-ups: Many STDs don’t show early symptoms, so testing is important.
• Stay informed: Understanding how STDs spread helps you stay careful.
• Take vaccines where possible: HPV and Hepatitis B vaccines are life-saving in this case.

At the end of the day, prevention is much easier and safer than dealing with an infection later.
