STIs/STDs

All plants and animals that reproduce sexually develop sexually transmitted infections (STIs). They are very common among humans — up to 75 percent of sexually active women and men will an STI of some kind. Unfortunately, many people consider having STIs to be a moral issue. The stigma and shame some people feel because of this may lead them to neglect taking good care of their sexual health. Please don’t let embarrassment be a health risk for you. Speak frankly and openly with your clinician about your sex life and your sexual health concerns. Some clinicians won’t ask — so take charge and speak up.

Medically, an STI is an infection before and after it causes symptoms and becomes a disease. An STD — sexually transmitted disease — is an infection that has symptoms. Some organizations prefer using the term STD. Others, including Planned Parenthood, prefer the term STI because STIs can be passed from one person to another — even when there are no symptoms. We want women and men to understand that they are just as likely to get an STI from someone with no symptoms as from someone with symptoms. It’s also a lot easier to prevent getting most STIs than it is to treat most STDs.

Educate yourselves your children and have yourself tested.
Not knowing you carry a disease doesn't negate the fact you may have it or can spread it.

How is this for a buzzkill

Three Steps to Safer Sex

Become honest with ourselves about the risks we take.
Decide which risks we are willing to take — and which ones we aren't willing to take.
Find ways to make our sex play as safe and satisfying as possible.

The most important ways to reduce your risk are

Keep your partner's body fluids out of your body — vagina, anus, or mouth. The body — fluids to be most careful about are blood, cum, pre-cum, vaginal fluids, and the discharge from sores caused by sexually transmitted infections.
Don't touch sores or growths that are caused by sexually transmitted infections.

Safer sex also means protecting your partner.

Don't allow your body fluids to get into your partner's body.
Don't have sex if you have sores or other symptoms of infection.
Have routine checkups for infections.
Get the correct treatment if you become infected.

4. A condom or a Dental Dam

http://www.plannedparenthood.org/birth-control-pregnancy/birth-control/condom.htm
Condoms Work!
In a 1987–91 study of couples in which one partner had HIV, all 123 couples who used condoms every time for four years prevented transmission of HIV. In 122 couples who did not use condoms every time, 12 partners became infected.1

A similar 1993 study showed that using condoms every time prevented HIV transmission for all but two of 171 women who had male partners with HIV. However eight out of 10 women whose partners didn't use condoms every time became infected.2


How can I avoid getting infected?

If you are sexually active, avoid contact with your partner(s)' blood, semen, vaginal fluids and breast milk.
Use a latex or polyurethane condom every time you have vaginal or anal intercourse
Use a dental dam or condom during oral sex (non-microwaveable plastic wrap will also do the trick!)
Do not share needles. Find out more about local needle exchange through the Southern Tier AIDS Program.
