A school nurse is reinforcing teaching to a group of teenage clients about prevention of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Which of the following practices is the most effective form of protection to include in the teaching?

A.

The use of latex condoms

B.

Avoiding sexual contact if a partner is known to have an STI

C.

Vaccination against vaccine-preventable STIs

D.

Limiting sexual partners

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A

A.    The use of latex condoms. Latex condoms are highly effective in reducing the transmission of many STIs when used consistently and correctly.
B.    Avoiding sexual contact if a partner is known to have an STI. While avoiding contact with an infected partner is important, many people may not know if their partner is infected, and this does not provide protection against unknown infections.
C.    Vaccination against vaccine-preventable STIs. While vaccination is important (e.g., for HPV and hepatitis B), it does not protect against all STIs.
D.    Limiting sexual partners. Limiting sexual partners can reduce risk but does not eliminate the risk of STIs if other protective measures are not used.
