Having a Positive Sexual Experience Without Testing Positive

Midlife women are at much greater risk for acquiring a sexually transmitted infection (STI) than most people appreciate.

And obviously, a condom is not a solution when it comes to oral sex, whether it is with a woman, a man, two women, or any other combination you can think of.
