Legends and myths about sexually transmitted diseases
Oral sex is safe
Become infected through oral sex is very real: STDs, including HIV, are transmitted by oral contact. Of course, oral sex is less risky than anal or vaginal. But if there is at least one chance to get “less dangerous” – is not an argument. And oral sex because in any case is not a means of preventing STDs. In practice there even syphilis and gonorrheal pharyngitis tonsil
With regard to HIV researchers cite the following data
- Oral sex is more dangerous for the “host” partner;
- The risk of oral HIV transmission is reduced (but does not disappear) if not prevent ejaculation in the mouth.
Thus, a very good way to prevent STDs, even if oral contact, a condom. Condoms protect against AIDS. The proof is at least that in medical practice and in the experiments did not reveal not a single case of HIV transmission through condom.
Treatment of sexually transmitted diseases
Unfortunately, many feel that the treatment of sexually transmitted diseases – a simple affair: just ask a friend what drugs he took, and take advantage of his experience.However, this view – is erroneous. In fact, treatment of sexually transmitted infections – a specialist business and engage in self unacceptable.
The fact that each sex infection responds only to a specific group of antibiotics. There are bacteria that have sensitivity to certain drugs varies with time. Some infections have “immunity” to a specific antibiotic, as has already been treated with them.

Symptoms and signs of sexually transmitted diseases in women
Symptoms of sexually transmitted diseases in women are often small, poorly expressed. The vast majority of women are asymptomatic disease or symptoms that are characteristic of a whole group of STDs. We want to emphasize that thediagnosis of STDs only on the basis of their symptoms can not be - the symptoms of many sexually transmitted diseases are very similar. Another complication of symptomatic diagnosis is that symptoms and signs of “implementation” of infections,sexually transmitted infections, are virtually indistinguishable from the symptoms ofother diseases that cause inflammation.
Encyclopedia of Women’s Health: venereal diseases
The sexual revolution mid-twentieth century, which led to the emergence of contraceptives, quickly began to decline after the outbreak of an epidemic of venereal diseases. In addition to gonorrhea and syphilis, the danger of the disease who had known the previous generation, today’s microscopes have revealed that there are other diseases transmitted in the moments that are considered to be the most sublime moments of human life.
Perhaps for this reason many of us are reluctant to use protection against sexually transmitted diseases. The idea that genital herpes, chlamydial infection, genital warts, trichomoniasis, or AIDS can be transmitted during the most delicate of human relationships, seems blasphemous, casts doubt on people’s feelings and in the people.
