Parents are a teen's primary source of information about sex, so it is important for parents to have an open conversation with their teen about safe sex. It is best to be clear and honest when speaking with your teens and to help them understand how their choices can impact their health. 
It’s also useful to equip your teens with the facts, such as by providing information about sexual health resources in your area, what kind of testing or treatments are available and the importance of practicing safe sex habits.   Moreover, it might also be beneficial for teens to ask questions freely and hear answers that emphasize trustworthiness - something young people may still struggle with having or expressing. Finally, make sure that conversations remain supportive; never judgemental - being open-minded allows both adult and youth party's true learning needs/wants/intends from this kind of dialogue!

It is important for parents to start talking to their teens about safe sex early, before they become sexually active. The most effective way to teach teens about safe sex is by having open and honest conversations with them. Have conversations in an age appropriate manner and emphasize that they should not be afraid to come to you if they have any questions or concerns. Teach your children the importance of contraception and encourage them to use protection when they are engaged in sexual activity. Make sure that your teen is aware of all options available and can identify trusted local healthcare providers where they can access these resources further if necessary.
