STDs

ANY KIND OF SEX IS SEX. ORAL SEX IS SEX AND YOU ARE NOT INNOCENT OF CHEATING OR A VIRGIN ("techincally" or otherwise) IF YOU HAVE HAD ORAL SEX. Oral sex, anal sex, vaginal sex are ALL sex. There is even a photo (see links below) of a man's finger that is infected with an STD and rotting off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have NO idea who could have anything and you will never know until you already have HIV/AIDS or some other STD, some of which will last your lifetime, and/or which can severely diminish your life by sterility (can't have kids) or death.

STDs are modern day plagues. Look at the photos (links at the bottom of this page) and you will see that they really are!

I have been in committed relationships (When I was not celibate/abstaining from sex) that have resulted in us breaking up due to me getting STD/STIs that I never COULD have gotten if the person did not cheat on me AND one of the guys STILL denied it when I tested positive and was ONLY WITH HIM! So, protect yourself by not trusting ANYONE. Condoms don't always even work and they break sometimes.

Women don't even always know they have an STD and men will often get treated and not tell their partner(s) to avoid the drama. STDs can cause sterility in women! You have NO way of knowing if your partner is faithful or truthful in reality or not, unless you are the luckiest of people with the perfect partner, it COULD happen to you.

A lot of people have Chlamydia – as many as 1 in 10 young women test positive for it. About 3 million cases of Chlamydia happen every year in the US, but only about half of those are reported and treated. In California alone, there were almost 150,000 reported cases of Chlamydia last year.

Gonorrhea is a common STD in the US. About 700,000 people get Gonorrhea every year, but less than half of those infections are reported and treated. Rates are particularly high among young people. In California alone, there were 25,535 reported cases of Gonorrhea in 2008.

HPV, the virus that causes genital warts and abnormal pap smears, is the most common STD in the US. About 6 million people get it each year, and at least 75% of sexually active men and women get it at some point in their lives. Most people fight off the virus on their own, but about 1% of all HPV-infected people develop genital warts. An even smaller number of women with HPV – about 12,000 women each year – develop cervical cancer if the HPV is untreated. HPV is also linked to other rare cancers of the penis, vulva, vagina, and anus.

1.25 million people in the US have hepatitis B. In 2003, there were 73,000 newly reported cases, but hepatitis B is not as common as in the past among young people because there is a vaccine for it.

Genital Herpes is more common than a lot of people realize – about 1 in 5 people between 14 and 49 is infected. As many as 90% of people with Genital Herpes are unaware that they have the virus.

There are over 1.1 million people living with HIV/AIDS. HIV is definitely NOT just a “gay” disease - about half of new infections are in straight people.

In California alone, there were 1,900 reported cases of Syphilis in 2009. Most reported cases of syphilis in the US are in men who have sex with men (MSM). The biggest increase in reported syphilis cases between 2004 and 2008 was in young people 15-24 years old.

In 2007, there were over 7.5 million estimated new cases of Trichomoniasis in the US. Trichomoniasis is the most common curable STD in young, sexually active women.

STIs are infections that people get as a result of sexual activities, which can also include masturbation.

Most STDs don’t show symptoms right away. Get tested to know for sure!

A healthy sex life includes getting tested AND having good communication. Talk with your partner before u have sex.

The only method that is 100% effective in preventing STDs is abstinence, but if you’re sexually active, the best way to avoid STDs is to be mutually monogamous with someone who has tested negative for everything and/or who has never had any kind of sex.
