Molluscum contagiosum
Prevention:
Avoid direct contact with skin lesions. Safer sex behaviors (such as limiting partners) may help in the prevention of this viral infection.
Condoms will prevent the spread of molluscum virus when used CONSISTENTLY and PROPERLY. Condoms remain the best protection when the disease status of a sexual partner is unknown, and will prevent the spread of not only molluscum contagiosum but other sexually-transmitted diseases.
