STD: 'Selective avoidance' does not reduce STD riskFrom: Hope Waltman (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 23 Jan 2008 19:45:06 -0600 (CST)
"Selective avoidance refers to the practice of not having sex in certain situations because of STD concerns -- often out of worry that a partner might have a sexually transmitted infection. Some people, particularly teenagers, may see it as a legitimate choice over consistent condom use or complete abstinence. The prevalence of STDs, such as chlamydia and gonorrhea, was similar among girls and women who used selective avoidance and those who did not, the researchers report in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine."
