I for one do not have any issues with this being posted in the Yorkshire section, it is easy enough to cross reference via linking threads if need be
I think you have raised an appropriate topic as to be fair, it is possible for both male and females to have any of the STI's mentioned without showing symptoms
There is only one sure way to avoid catching anything and that is through abstinence, and we know that will not happen, other than that you just have to bag up, again, too many of us take the risk and go OWO and CIM, all we can do is be as careful as possible and get tested regularly
