STDs can be passed by fluids produced during sexual activity, blood, skin to skin contact, or like lice, hair to hair. A lump, bump or sore does not have to be present. Due to this fact abstinence offers the most protection assuming no needle sharing, blood to blood contact, and not counting things like lice which can pass on bedding. Latex and polyurethane condoms protect against diseases spread by semen and vaginal fluids; Latex condoms are very effective assuming they are used properly. Pre-ejaculate can spread disease, the withdrawal method is not effective (both can cause pregnancy). Birth Control Pills are also not-protective against STDs. Again, condoms are not effective against diseases spread by skin to skin or hair to hair.
