RLO: Stigma attached to STIs and condom use in the UK

How can STIs be prevented?

There are two obvious ways in which this is possible. Firstly, complete abstinence from sexual behaviour and secondly to use a condom.

For most people, the first option is unrealistic. But obtaining and using condoms is also associated with stigma. If the stigma surrounding the use of condoms can be reduced, this should result in increased usage, and so reduce the prevalence of STIs.
