Savlon lotion is not enough to check the std. Because during sexual act, infection is reaching to your blood.

Hello- No it can't. applying savlon or other antiseptic liquid is not a effective methods for preventing STDs, and in fact, there's evidence that irritation caused by chemicals in it may actually increase STD infection risk. Abstaining from sex and the proper use of condoms are the best ways to reduce STD risk.
