The best way to reduce the risk of cervicitis from STDs is to prevent STD in both partners, by the correct and consistent use of condoms. Seek immediate treatment for vaginal infections before they spread to the cervix, make sure that any foreign objects that you insert into the vagina(such as tampons) are placed properly, begin sexual activity at a later age, have sex with just one person and have a Pap test each year, regardless of whether or not you are experiencing any symptoms.
