“I am currently working with STD patients. Should I exercise special precaution?”
I am currently working with a NGO that helps in dealing with patients suffering from STDs. Should I exercise any precaution myself to prevent infection or contamination?

In all health settings, it is important to practice universal precautions, but knowing how STI are transmitted would be important to know to help regulate any anxiety or concern you may feel working in this environment.
Sexually transmitted diseases are just that: sexually transmitted. However, as in any situation involving disease, keeping one's hands clean is the ultimate protection.
