Useful information on sexually transmitted diseases through 15 questions is presented by EDY in its newsletter on February.

1. Each sexually active person can stick some sexually transmitted disease (N)

TRUTH: N is not affecting specific population groups exclusively.

2. I can stick to even with a sexual intercourse

TRUTH: Even a contact is enough to stick if my partner suffers from some

3. The more partners I have, the more the risk of being stuck in

TRUE: Multiple comrades (at the same time or successively) increase the risk of being particularly stuck if I do not take precaution measures

4. I am in a monogamous relationship, so I do not run the risk of sticking to some

MYTH: It is especially important to discuss openly with your partner about your sexual history and every time you change a partner you need to be controlled. You may have stuck in the past but have no symptoms for a long time

5. Since I have no symptoms, it is not necessary to check

MYTH: Often n no symptoms, so you can’t be safe that you have not been infected if you are not controlled

6. If I get sick of someone my sex life is over

MYTH: There are N that is curable with proper treatment or transmission is prevented by vaccination. But they are not fully cured but with the correct treatment reduces the intensity and frequency of symptoms and prevent their transmission

7. I can stick n through a simple kiss

TRUTH: Kiss is a very low risk way to transmit compared to vaginal, anal or oral contact, but not unlikely

8. I can stick n during oral contact

TRUTH: Many nm is transmitted through narrow mucosal contact, secretions and/or saliva (eg HSV1 and 2, HPV, MPOX, Syphilis, etc.)

9. The double condom protects more

MYTH: friction between the two condoms increases the likelihood of their destruction and consequently the risk of transmission of N

10. If I use a condom in every sexual intercourse I protect 100%

MYTH: Consistent and proper use of condom prevents the transmission of HIV, chlamydial infections, gonorrhea and trichomonal infections, but does not protect 100%. There are N such as HPV or herpes infection (HSV-1 and 2), Syphilis, MPOX, Defeat, etc. that are transmitted through narrow skin contact even when using it

11. Contraceptives protect me from n

MYTH: contraceptives protect me only from unwanted pregnancy

12. Na affect fertility

TRUTH: Some N such as gonorrhea and chlamydial infections, without proper treatment affect fertility in both sexes

13. I can get stuck in the use of a common toilet

MYTH: In a toilet there may be many bacteria and viruses but the probability of transmission N is practically zero

14. I can stick the same to many times

TRUTH: Even after the proper treatment of an N, there is the possibility of sticking again if I am exposed again

15. I do not risk stuck n unless I have sexual intercourse

MYTH: I am not only stuck during penetrating sexual intercourse. Close skin contact and sharing infected objects (sharp objects, erotic aids, etc.) can lead to infection by n
