Tips to avoid STIs

  1. Get an STI test every 3 to 6 months if you are sexually active and complete treatment. 
  2. During sexual activity, use a condom or oral dam. 
  3. Talk to your sexual partners about when they were last tested and how they protect themselves.
  4. Keep sex toys clean and use condoms on sex toys if they are being shared. 
  5. Avoid oral and genital sex if there are cuts or sores present. 
  6. Keep up-to-date on immunizations. In Yukon, immunizations are done at either Yukon Communicable Disease Control (YCDC), Whitehorse Health Center or your local community Health Center.
