CDC: Sexually Transmitted Diseases Treatment Guidelines, 2010

Sexually Transmitted Diseases Treatment Guidelines, 2010: "A reliable way to avoid transmission of STDs is to abstain from oral, vaginal, and anal sex or to be in a long-term, mutually monogamous relationship with an uninfected partner. For persons who are being treated for an STD (or whose partners are undergoing treatment), counseling that encourages abstinence from sexual intercourse until completion of the entire course of medication is crucial."
