HIV Awareness!
Avoiding HIV Is Better Than Resisting HIV. -Dr.Lemuel Tarucan
Sexually Transmitted Disease
This class of diseases,called STDs for short includes any infection spread by having s*x.
STDs include gonorrhea,syphilis,HIV (the AIDS virus),chlamydia,trichomoniasis,herpes,pubic lice,and genetal warts.If not treated,however,some of these diseases can cause infertility.Others eventually fatal.You can't tell by looking if someone has an STD,abd many people don't know they are infected.Most of these diseases are caused by bacteria or viruses and are spread by having oral,vaginal,or a**l (re**al) s*x.
Your doctor can perform tests to see what kind of infection you have.You may need an antibiotic medicine to fight the bacteria.
What You Should Do
1.Always take your medicine as directed.If you are taking antibiotics,continue to take them until they are all gone,even if you feel well.
2.Don't have s*x (including oral s*x) while you and your partner are being treated for a STD.
3.Tell all your s*x partners that you are being treated for a STD.They may be infected and need treatment.
4.Wash your hands often,especially after you urinate or have a bowel movement.To avoid spreading an STD to your eyes,do not touch them with your hands.
5.If you are pregnant,tell your doctor that you have s*xually transmitted disease.Your STD could spread to your unborn child.
6.Ask your doctor for the instructions on practicing safe s*x and using condoms.
7.To keep from getting STD,you should practice safe s*x or avoid all s*xual contact.The only completely safe s*x occurs between two faithful partners who do not have STDs.
8.You can improve your chances of avoiding an STD by using condoms.Athough condoms do not provide foolproof protection,they reduce your risks of being infected.
9.The more people you have s*x with,the greater your chance of developing a s*xually transmitted disease.The fewer your s*xual partners the better.
Your Health,My Care.
