Partner sexual history

In order to protect yourself from sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV, you need to know as much as possible about your partner’s sexual history. Talking to your partner about sexual health may be difficult but it is very important to do this before you have sex. If you plan this conversation with a caring and mature attitude, you can have a very helpful talk that will bring both of you closer and keep you safer.

Remember, it is never too late to have this conversation. Even if you are already sexually active, you can still prevent or reduce the risk of getting a sexually transmitted infection.
