  1. Use a condom by DrYak · · Score: 1, Redundant

    or the tests will show up positive for something and you're glad you found before stuff started to fall off/rot your brain/etc.

    or : ...and you just keep using a condom properly just like before the result came.

    The reason sexual education is insisting on using condoms it that not only do they prevent unwanted pregnancies (like any other contraception method), but the latex will be a physical barrier between you and the (untested) bugs which might be on the other side of it. As long as the condom is properly used and no other stupid stuff is done aside, the risks tends toward zero.

    The golden rule is : do whatever both of you want (consensually) but : ALWAYS WEAR LATEX while doing it. Unless both partners are properly tested clean and trust enough each other so one will admit if a risk arise due to cheating.
