These days, it’s not abnormal to learn that someone has an STD. In fact, even celebrities have STDs! I recently posted a blog on celebrities and STDs. Most of them had herpes and one of them had Hepatitis. Sure, some of you may know these 7 facts on STDs, but there are others, younger people, that are just starting out and may be in need of some facts, so this is more for them…

7. LIMIT THE NUMBER OF SEXUAL PARTNERS

Sure, this may sound like common sense, but again, the younger generation probably needs to be told this. Having sexual contact with only one individual is going to limit your chances of getting an STD. Be clear about the expectations of the relationship and make sure they are not sleeping with others. If it is an open relationship, then your chances of getting an STD will increase, even if you were not the one to have séx with the person who was infected (your partner did).

6. DON’T BE AFRAID TO LOOK!

Before you engage in sexual activity, it is perfectly normal to look! In fact, do it! Don’t be afraid to do it. Look for suspicious rashes, sores or discharge. Discuss it with the partner. Remember, an STD may not show signs at all times.

5. THE BEST WAY TO PROTECT YOU AND YOUR PARTNER FROM GETTING AN STD WILL INVOLVE A LATEX CONDOM

The condom is going to give an effective barrier against STD. Make sure it is properly removed when you are all done with your business.

3. IF YOU ARE SEXUALLY ACTIVE, THEN MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A REGULAR STD CHECKUPS

Ask your doctor for specific tests for those common STDs. This includes Chlamydia and genital warts. These tests may not be a part of routine checkups.

When you have learned that you are infected by an STD, it is important that you tell your partner. This way, they will go in for proper tests and early treatment. This will also help avoid infecting others or each other.

1. A FACT ON CHLAMYDIA
