Safe sex means not swapping any body fluids with the person you are having sex with.
Practising safe sex can protect you from sexually transmitted infections (STIs), HIV/AIDS
and unwanted pregnancies.
Having safe sex means using a condom every time you have sex. Other forms of
contraception, like the pill, make pregnancy less likely but do not protect you from STIs and
HIV\AIDS. The risk might be reduced if you have sex with the same person, providing the
other person is only having a relationship with you and has only had a relationship with you
for a long time.
You can get free condoms from the Queensland Aids Council, needle exchanges or from
some of the agencies listed under “Who Can Help?”Who Can Help?
