History

The term safer sex in Canada and the United States has gained greater use by health workers, reflecting that risk of transmission of sexually transmitted infections in various sexual activities is a continuum. Safer sex is thought to make it more obvious to individuals that any sexual activity carries a certain degree of risk. The term safe sex is still in common use in the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.
