A
to use a condom during sexual intercourse
B
wash your genitals
C

D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Condoms block transmission and acquisition of STDs by preventing contact between the condom wearer’s penis and a sex partner’s skin, mucosa, and genital secretions. A greater level of protection is provided for the diseases transmitted by genital secretions.

Detailed explanation-2: -Correct and consistent use of the male latex condom is highly effective in reducing STD transmission. Use a condom every time you have anal, vaginal, or oral sex. If you have latex allergies, synthetic non-latex condoms can be used.

Detailed explanation-3: -Condoms are the only form of contraception that help to prevent sexually transmissible infections (STIs) like chlamydia and gonorrhoea. However, condoms don’t protect you from all STIs such as herpes, genital warts, syphilis and monkeypox which can be spread from skin-to-skin contact.

Detailed explanation-4: -Consistent and correct use of latex condoms reduces the risk of sexually transmitted disease (STD) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission. However, condom use cannot provide absolute protection against any STD.
