Prevention of donovanose is done through the use of condoms in any kind of intimate contact. It is important to check if the wound is protected with the condom, because if the exposed wound comes in contact with the partner, donovanose is at great risk of being transmitted.
Avoiding intimate contact while there are still symptoms of the disease is paramount for the prevention of donovanose. Performing self-examination of the genitals, observing whether the smell, color, appearance and skin have any abnormalities, help to identify the existence of the donovanose faster and make the medical intervention as soon as possible.
People who have been in close contact with an infected person should seek medical advice for appropriate examination and treatment.
