STIs are almost always spread by sex (vaginal, oral, or anal) or by some sort of sexual contact. There are a few other ways they can be spread like childbirth, but this is pretty rare.
Abstinence is the only thing that is truly 100% effective against the spread of STIs. Condoms definitely HELP prevent the spread of STIs, but they are never truly 100% effective, especially with STIs that can be spread by DIRECT skin to skin contact like genital herpes and HPV. A condom only covers a man's penis and not his entire genital area. So, just the rubbing back and forth of the genital areas during sex or foreplay is enough to spread either virus.
Bacterial STIs like gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis can be treated and cured with antibiotics. Viral STIs like herpes, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, and HPV can be treated, but NOT cured, with antiviral medication. There are no cures for viruses.
Good luck and take care!

I got clinically diagnosed with the herpes simplex virus (type 2) about six yrs ago, when I was still attending college and had a dumb one-night stand. I realize lots of young ladies will say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a mistake that one time and all of a sudden I felt like I was going to have to live with the consequences for the rest of my life. The hardest part was feeling I could never date men again. In the end, who wants to go out with someone that has sores around her you-know-what? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/3dRCI everything improved.
Not only was I able to clear away all remnants of the herpes virus from my body in less than 21 days, but I was also able to begin dating again. I even met the man of my dreams and I'm so fortunate to write that just last week, in front of everybody in a packed cafe, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!! This method provided the opportunity to be happy and experience true love. Now I want to enable you too by sharing this with the World.
