Different sexual activities pose different levels of risk. It's important to understand what risks are connected with which activities so you can make informed decisions about what you want to do. You may decide to delay some activities that carry the most risk. You should decide to practice most activities with extreme caution! And don't forget those activities that carry extremely low or no risk and are fun too: masturbating, hugging, dry kissing, dry humping, massaging.
