Dr. Doctor

practiced Doctor, Yesterday, during lunch, my best friend and I were discussing sexually hereditary diseases and we got into so 1r a brawl about somewhat of the myths and facts of them. It seemed like the only statement we both agreed on was that the topic about sexually transmitted diseases (and how for each one are transmitted and statistics) should be taught in school, fitting how biological instruction and abstinence are beingness educated. With that being said, I energize quite a few questions to ask you. Is it quench possible to get a sexually transmitted disease if you are abstinent?If a psyche is infected with a sexually transmitted disease, rear end you tell by their appearance? Is on that point a higher chance that you will be infected by a sexually transmitted disease if youre in your teen years? Can STDS only spread leave one seminal fluid and source? If a woman is on birth domination, does that foreclose her from obtaining an STD as well? Can you, in fact, catch an STD from a jackpot seat? And lastly, once you have a sexually transmitted disease, in that respects no chance of becoming infected again, right?These were a bunch of questions that seemed to be left unanswered yesterday and I was question if you might be able to clarify them for me as well as every other reader out there. Thank you Doctor. Sincerely, Confused reader. dearly Confused reader, I do appreciate taking snip to write to me about your questions and I also agree with you that the educational frame should do more to inform the youth about sexually transmitted diseases before it may be too late. Also, as for your questions.. Yes, there is still a chance that one might become infected with a sexually transmitted disease while remaining abstinent. Abstinence does non preventAIDS, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C infections that come from nonsexual activities like using contaminated needles for doing drugs, unsterilized tattooing, or even taking steroids. You ha ve no way of know if a person has a sexually transmitted disease just by looking at their appearance and observing how clean they are. stock-still doctors often substructuret tell by looking if raft have STDs thats why tests involving a patients blood work were made. Most STDs have very few signs or no signs at all. Only in really extreme cases of certain STDs could a person detect signs of an STD in the groin area but dont rely on it.Its even possible to necessitate and spread the virus without ever having an outbreak. The truth is, about one in four sexually experienced teens become infected with an STD. Unfortunately, you are reprobate on this one. Statistics show that two-thirds of sexually transmitted diseases occur in the great unwashed who are under twenty- five and one in four girls amongst the ages of fourteen and nineteen were determined to have at least one of four sexually transmitted diseases (Human Papillomavirus HPV, Chlamydia, Herpes Simplex Virus, and Trichom oniasis. ).Young people (ages from 15- 24) have five propagation the reported rate of Chlamydia of the total population, four times the reported rate of Gonorrhea, and three times the rate of Syphilis. While semen and blood can spread some sexually transmitted diseases, some STDs like herpes and syphilis can be spread by skin on skin edge. For example, when herpes flares up, an active sore appears on the persons body and if this sore comes into contact with another persons skin (or moist areas like the mouth, throat, and also areas with cuts and/ or rashes), it can spread.However, it can also spread before the blisters very form. Ive actually heard these two myths before and never understood how they came about. The birth control pill has the potential to prevent one thing, the prevention of pregnancy from occurring. It holds no protection against sexually transmitted diseases. As for the myth about being able to get a sexually transmitted disease from a toilet seat, organisms ca nnot survive outside of the human body for a unyielding period of time. Some STDs are yours for life, like herpes and HIV.Others, like Chlamydia and Gonorrhea, can be treated but you more likely to get infected again, since you are now vulnerable to the disease if you have sexual contact with someone who has them. In young girls, the second time you have Chlamydia, theres more damage to your reproductive tract, which may cause indissoluble infertility. I expect that you read everything that I have written and have more of an understanding on sexually transmitted diseases. Remember No sex is always better than safe sex. Sincerely always, The Doctor.
