How can I reduce my risk of developing chancroid?

There some things you can do to reduce your risk of developing chancroid, including:

• Abstaining from sex completely.
• Having sex with only one uninfected partner.
• Having safe sex by using condoms for oral, vaginal and anal sex. The condoms must cover any infected area.
• Making sure pus from any infected area doesn’t touch you. If you have a soft chancre, make sure you don’t transfer any pus to another place on your body or to another person.
