Protect your immune system. Eat well, get enough rest, and limit your use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs. Do not take anyone else's medicine, and do not share yours. Alcohol and other drugs weaken good judgment and self-control. Don't let them jeopardize your self-control.
Many people find it very difficult to talk about their sexual health.
Some even find it shameful. But discomfort and shame can get in the way of common sense. They can keep people from taking good care of themselves and their partners. Choose a clinician with whom you can be comfortable while discussing these issues. Keep yourself healthy by speaking frankly and openly with your clinician about your sex life and your sexual health concerns.
