'''Safe sex''' is [[Human sexual activity|sexual activity]] using methods or contraceptive devices (such as [[condoms]]) to reduce the risk of transmitting or acquiring [[sexually transmitted infection]]s (STIs), especially [[HIV/AIDS|HIV]].<ref>[http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/safesex?view=uk Compact Oxford English Dictionary], Oxford University Press, 2009, Accessed 23 September 2009</ref> "Safe sex" is also sometimes referred to as '''safer sex''' or '''protected sex''' to indicate that some safe sex practices do not completely eliminate STI risks. It is also sometimes used colloquially to describe methods aimed at [[Birth control|preventing pregnancy]] that may or may not also lower STI risks.

The concept of "safe sex" emerged in the 1980s as a response to the global [[AIDS epidemic]], and possibly more specifically to the [[AIDS crisis]] in the US. Promoting safe sex is now one of the main aims of [[sex education]] and STI prevention, especially reducing new HIV infections. Safe sex is regarded as a [[harm reduction]] strategy aimed at reducing the risk of STI transmission.<ref name="Who">{{cite web| title = Global strategy for the prevention and control of sexually transmitted infections: 2006–2015.

Although some safe sex practices (like [[condoms]]) can also be used as [[birth control]] (''contraception''), most forms of contraception do not protect against STIs. Likewise, some safe sex practices, such as partner selection and low-risk sex behavior,{{Example needed|date=June 2019}} might not be effective forms of contraception.
