It's nice to have a story ready in order to prompt such a conversation. This is mine:
So a chick friend of a friend who's studying over at U of Las Vegas hadn't been laid in a long time, and noticed one night that a guy who'd caught her eye a couple of times that she went to a particular club was there again. She decided that if he came over and picked her up, she'd go home with him tonight. And so it happened, and she gave him head in his hotel room and left shortly thereafter.
A couple of days later she's not feeling so great, so she's off to the doctor. The doctor finds weird purplish bumps in her mouth - specifically, (IIRC) on her tongue. He gives her some medicine and she heads home.
Twenty-four hours later, she gets a call from her doctor requesting her to come in ASAP. She gets there to find a policeman present. As it turns out, she has an STD...that can only be passed on by a person who's been having sex with the deceased.
