Unsafe sex refers to sexual activities that increase the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unintended pregnancies. This often occurs when protection, such as condoms, is not used or when there is a failure in the method of contraception. Engaging in unsafe sex can have serious health consequences for individuals and their partners. Factors contributing to unsafe sex include lack of education about safe practices, substance use that impairs judgment, and limited access to healthcare resources. It is important for individuals to understand the risks and to communicate openly with partners about safe sex practices to protect their health.
