Meeting someone for the first time can be exciting. Please always stay safe and always follow your gut instinct. When you meet for the first time please make sure you meet in a public place and continue to do so until you feel that it is safe to meet in private. If your date pressures you to meet in private when you're not sure please end the date and leave at once.
Do not let your date pick you up or drop you off on your first few dates. You still don't really know the person and don't want a stranger to know your home address. Also you don't want to ever be in a position in which you need to depend on your date for transport when you want to leave. Just in case things don't work out you retain your ability to freely leave.
Inform a friend or family member of your plans of when and where you’re going. Make sure you have your cell phone charged and with you at all times.
The consumption of alcohol and/or other drugs can impair your judgment and potentially put you in danger. It’s important to keep a clear mind and avoid anything that might place you at risk. Be aware that scammers might try to take advantage of you by spiking your drink with synthetic substances.
Afro Elite Dating is happy when people meet and create healthy relationships. Therefore if you meet your date and are planning to engage in sexual activities please make sure you stay safe by following the recommendations below:
You and your partner should use proper protection. Condoms and other mechanisms can significantly reduce the risk of contracting or passing on an STI, such as HIV. However, you are still at risk of contracting certain other STIs, like herpes or HPV from contact with your partner’s skin even when using a condom. To be effective, however, protective measures must be used consistently.
It is completely reasonable to have a conversation with your partner regarding sex and sexual contact before actually having it. All issues ranging from the number of partners each of you has had, to the last time each of you was tested for STIs are fair game. Many STIs are curable or treatable but not all. If either you or your partner has an STI that is curable, you both need to start treatment to avoid becoming re-infected. It is important to be completely honest in these conversations and always seek a medical professional's advice.
The risk of contracting some STIs can be reduced through vaccination. Talk to your doctor or a professional at a sexual health clinic to learn more.
Some STIs don't show symptoms. Regular testing is critical to staying on top of your health and helping prevent the spread of STIs. After testing, always ask for a copy of your test results so you are sure of your status.
