High-risk or unsafe sexual activities

Unsafe sex outside of a monogamous relationship increases your risk of getting a STI. Examples of unsafe sexual activities include:

• having sex without a male or female condom
• withdrawing the penis before ejaculation instead of using condoms (pre-ejaculatory fluid may be infectious and can also contain sperm resulting in pregnancy)
• trying to re-use a condom or using a condom that is past its use-by date
• using a condom incorrectly or continuing to have sex once the condom is broken
• getting bodily fluids like menstrual blood, semen or vaginal fluids inside another person’s body (for example, mouth, vagina or anus).
