WHAT ARE STIs/STDs? Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are infections or diseases that are passed on during unprotected sex with an infected partner. This includes vaginal, anal or MouthAction. Some STDs can be passed on by just skin-to-skin contact. COMMON STDs INCLUDE: 1. Gonorrhoea 2. Chlamydia 3. Genital herpes 4. Genital warts. 5. Syphilis 6. Hepatitis B 7. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) which can lead to Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) 8. Bacterial vaginosis 9. Cystitis 10. Giardia infection (giardiasis) 11. Human papillomavirus (HPV) 12. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) 13. Pubic lice SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF STDs When you contract an STD, you may not have any obvious symptoms. You can feel perfectly okay and not realise you have an infection. But even if you don’t notice any signs the STD could still be making you sick. Some STD symptoms could include: 1. Unusual discharge from your vagina or penis. 2. Difficulty or pain when you urinate and have sex. 3. Blisters, warts, lumps, bumps or sores on your genitals. 4. Rash, cracked skin, itchy or irritated skin on or around your genital region. RISK OF COMING DOWN WITH STDs 1. You don’t use condoms during sex or dental dams (a thin latex square held over the vaginal or anal area during MouthAction). 2. You have changed sex partners or had more than one sex partner in the last 12 months. 3. You or your partner share injecting equipment such as a syringes and needles 4. You or your sex partner is infected with a type of STD. WAYS TO REDUCE THE RISK OF CONTRACTING STDs 1. Have regular STD checks. 2. Limit your sex partners. The fewer people you have sex with, the less chance you have of having sex with someone who has a STD. 3. Always use condoms or dental dams and water-based lubricant. 4. Condoms are the best way to protect you both from STIs. HOW DO I KNOW I HAVE STD? If you notice any of the above symptoms, or if you had sex without a condom or a dental dam, you and your sex partner(s) should see a health care provider for an STD check. Depending on your particular circumstances, this may involve a urine sample, swab and/or blood test. The earlier you are diagnosed with an STD, the easier it is to treat which also reduces the chances of you developing further health complications

Redoil:There's no known relationship between their physical characteristics with the dieases. Having more than one sexual partner pose a risk for one to contract the disease. |
