STBBI – RISK FACTORS AND SEXUAL HYGIENE

STBBI – RISK FACTORS AND SEXUAL HYGIENE

AIDS, gonorrhea, syphilis, hepatitis B, genital herpes, chlamydia, HPV or LGV are sexually transmitted infections, formerly known as venereal diseases, which, despite all prevention and information campaigns, continue to occur with diagnosed cases that are on the rise.

Although the vast majority of these infections can be treated and the people affected are not left with health consequences, early diagnosis and a quick intervention can avoid serious complications and sometimes irreversible ones.

A lot of people think that this only happens to others and some people take too much time or avoid taking the step to do a screening test.

HOW CAN ONE GET AN STI?

  • Unprotected sex (without wearing a condom);
  • Unprotected oral and genital sex where there is contact of the mouth with the genitals (penis and vulva) or anus;
  • Multiple sexual partners;
  • Exchange and sharing injections or inhalation equipments for drugs (syringes and pipes);
  • Contact with a contaminated syringe;
  • Tattoos or piercings with a needle that is not new or sterilized;
  • Exchange or sharing of intimate or personal hygiene items (razor, toothbrush, sex toy) that may have been in contact with body fluids or blood.

WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON SYMPTOMS OF STBBI?

If you experience pain or burning when you are urinating, if you have abnormal blood or purulent discharge, if you experience lower abdominal pain or cramping in the pelvic area, if you have any lesions, swelling or abnormal pimples on your genitals and you have fever, it would really be important to proceed quickly with a medical examination followed by a screening test.

WHEN TO CONSULT AND TEST FOR STBBI?

If you’re sexually active, it is strongly recommended to take screening tests on a regular basis. But in some cases, a more advanced examination, and a full test must be done.

The screening test is used not only to determine one’s health status but also to prevent complications resulting from some latent infections and especially to avoid transmitting or spreading the infection.

It is also strongly advised to go for a screening test if you have had a sexual relationship considered to be at risk, if you are in the beginning of a new relationship or if you want to stop using the condom with your partner.

HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM STBBI?

Condoms are the surest way to protect oneself from sexually transmitted infections. However,  a healthy lifestyle, regular medical follow-ups, and a good awareness of the dangers can help reduce the risk considerably.

STEALTHING, AN ALARMING RISK FACTOR

Stealthing is a dangerous sexual practice that is growing among younger and older people, and spreads like wildfire. This new trend represents an additional bill in the spread of STIs and STDs.

Fueled by the current trends, this disturbing new practice consists of removing the condom quickly during the sexual act without the partner’s consent. This practice is not only done by men but women as well who are also carried away by the movement.

Victims of stealthing tend to minimize risks and indulge in this act as it does not only concern new encounters or one night stands but it is also practiced in steady relationships. If you are a victim of stealthing, please do not hesitate to quickly consult our specialists at FORCEMEDIC to assess the risks and to diagnose any STBI or unwanted pregnancy.
