How can I play it safe when it comes to STIs?

Hello Corinne
I have a question about safer sex.
How can I have oral sex or petting without constantly being afraid of contracting an STI? I don't want to pick anything up and infect someone else. Would it make sense to get tested for everything again?
I'm in the middle of a fight and the man rubs his penis against my vulva. I'm not allowed to do that without a condom, am I?
What's the best way to talk about the fact that I don't want to take any risks without spoiling the fun? Do you have any tips?
Thank you very much for your help!
Kind regards.
