Probability Of Contracting 6 Most Common Stds In One Sexual Encounter. by Nobody: 8:48pm On Jun 05, 2015

Before I start, I'll have to state that my figures are majorly for heterosexuals. The probabilities are significantly higher for homosexuals. In addition these figures can be significantly higher depending on a number of factors I can't go into now.

1. Gonorrhea- It is estimated that a man has a 20% chance of contracting Gonorrhea after just one sexual encounter while a woman has between 60-80% chance of contracting it

2. Hepatitis: The risk of contracting it in one single sexual encounter is on the low side. It's about 0.3%

3. Syphilis: It is estimated that the risk of contracting syphilis is about 3%.

4. Human papilomavirus (HPV): HPV is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases.The probability of contracting it in one sexual encounter is 20%

5. Herpes: This is another common sexually transmitted disease with a very high probability of contracting in one sexual encounter. The estimate is 75% for men and can be as high as 98% for women.

6. HIV: I know many of you would have been expecting this. Surprisingly, it has the least probability of transmission. Were it not for the low probability of transmission, majority of us would have been HIV positive. cheesy

The estimated probability of transmission from male to female is 0.08% while that of female to male transmission is 0.04%.

NB: Please note that just one encounter can lead to having a particular STD irrespective of how low the probability of contracting it may be. It's therefore imperative one protects his/her self at all times.

Abstinence is the Key.

You dont have to worry about such when you "zip up"

Hmmmmm, i smell FP but any way let me jst drop dis one here =>

You add him on Facebook. He checks your
pictures. He confirms. He inboxes you. You reply,
all excited. You'll want to hook up . Set a
date. You dress up, smell good, make up on,
fresh breath & new
weave. He takes you for lunch to Primi. You two
have a good
time. He rubs your hand, makes you laugh,gives you a
looks and smiles.You fall
inlove. It's like you've known him forever. He takes you to his
apartment. He makes you feel
comfortable And lays you on his bed. He rubs it gently, kiss you
passionately. Unzip
your jeans, they're too tight but he manages to
take em' off. You love his aggresion, strength,
power &
you give in. It feels good. You know it's wrong, but it feels
good. You ask for protection, he says it's too late.
You obey & don't disturb.
He says he loves you & you don't hesitate to say
you love him too . He pulls out, go to the kitchen
to get a glass of water. He helps you drink it, ohh man.
You feel special. " He must be the one ", you
think to yourself. You'll get dressed. He takes you to the taxi rank &
kisses you on the
cheeck & say " I had a great time, you smile &
say " See you tomorrow babe ".
He stays silent. You drive away, in the taxi you
can't stop smiling. You get home & inbox him
that you got home safe. He is online, but doesn't reply. It's unlike him, so
you inbox him again . He doesn't respond.
Minutes later you can't find him on your friend
list . HE BLOCKED YOU. Days, weeks, months
passes by. You start feeling sick, weak, loose weight, act
strange with sores in your mouth. You go to the clinic. Get tested. Minutes
later, nurse walks in. " I'm sorry. You're HIV Postive". HOW? You don't
understand. Reality hits you. You walk
home. Scared. Confused. You go to the middle of
3rd Mainland Bridge. You lay, hopeless,
emotionless. You see the truck coming nearer . You look into
the sky & pray. BOOM ! That's the end of you. Don't be that girl! Live
wise! Good9t Africa....
