Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Abstinence from sexual intercourse is the most reliable method for preventing the transmission of STIs. Using male latex condoms during every sexual intercourse is effective but not 100% reliable, and asking his partner to abstain from sexual exclusivity may not be practical or realistic. Avoiding communication about his condition with his sexual partners is not responsible and can put others at risk of infection.
