STD phobia

[tristan22]

Having had the college experience, i got to see first hand just how promiscuous females really are (males too...ahahaah). It's no wonder so many people are infected with STD's.

I am freaked out about getting an STD. I have had numerous chances to have 1 night stands with females i meet out, but i'm scared to take the chance.

Do you guys just throw a condom on and say F-it or do you date the girl for a while and get tested together?

Just curious!

.....BTW where the heck did STD's originate from?

 

[Skel]

use condoms always and get tested often

tristan22,


Unfortunately your fears are well founded. In addition to getting a STD you can contract AIDS.

It is also a fact that you can't tell by someone's looks if they have AIDS or not. There is no way to know unless she has been recently been tested. Even then the virus in her system can be in remission.

Most experts advocate abstinence. If you do have sex don't have unprotected sex. Use a condom. And like Skel said "Get tested."

A funny story:

My friend's girlfriend is a friend of a group of Ohio State girls featured in Playboy's Girls of the Big Ten issue. 2 of the girls that were featured have herpes. By looking at them, you would say wow they are hot...... so it just goes to show you that you never know what lurks beneath the pretty surface.

I have herpes and I rock like a hurricane.

What is testing going to do? It won't stop you from getting it. You'll just treat it faster.

Yeah, no sh*t... I mean, really, who wants to treat some really easily treated STD like syphilis anyway?

I mean, all that would do is prevent damage to the heart, eyes, brain, nervous system, bones, joints, or almost any other part of the body, as well as mental illness, blindness, other neurological problems, heart disease, and death.

But seriously, who gives a sh*t?

 

[diplomatic_lies]

If you treat some diseases as soon as you get them, they are curable.

A few STD's came from humans having sex with animals. Not a joke

maybe so, doesnt sound to far fetched to be ture, although i heard that it is belived many or most of the diseases that are around now are due to people reproducing with relatives, thousands of years ago, which created mutations in the offspring.

I'll tell you what, it's a scary prospect...

I think I'm about ready to give up on casual sex. I've done it a couple times and always used protection, but it's just not worth it any more...so it seems, anyway.

For a guy, I don't imagine HIV's all too easy to contract...any kissing, oral, etc, the risk is relatively low of it transferring unless you have cuts in your mouth or something. For actual intercourse, her secretions would have to get in your pee-hole (urethra) for you to contract it, which is kind of impossible through a good latex condom.

Now if you're barebacking, that's another matter altogether, or if you have scratches or sores on your wang. But if you've got that, you've got problems anyway.

Of all the STDs, HIV is the only one that really scares me. Herpes is a b!tch, but it's not fatal and you can work with it. Almost all the other ones have easily noticeable symptoms.

I don't even care about ME, really. I DO care about the potential of one day passing something nasty on to someone I DO care about.

Just be careful out there. And always use protection unless you and your partner have been tested.

You are wrong. What is really scary is your lack of knowledge of how HIV works.

How is HIV Transmitted?

HIV can be transmitted from an infected person to another through:

Blood (including menstrual blood)
Semen
Vaginal secretions
Breast milk
Blood contains the highest concentration of the virus, followed by semen, followed by vaginal fluids, followed by breast milk.
* Activities That Allow HIV Transmission

Unprotected sexual contact
Direct blood contact, including injection drug needles, blood transfusions, accidents in health care settings or certain blood products
Mother to baby (before or during birth, or through breast milk)
Sexual intercourse (vaginal and anal): In the genitals and the rectum, HIV may infect the mucous membranes directly or enter through cuts and sores caused during intercourse (many of which would be unnoticed). Vaginal and anal intercourse is a high-risk practice.

Oral sex (mouth-penis, mouth-vagina): The mouth is an inhospitable environment for HIV (in semen, vaginal fluid or blood), meaning the risk of HIV transmission through the throat, gums, and oral membranes is lower than through vaginal or anal membranes. There are however, documented cases where HIV was transmitted orally, so we can't say that getting HIV-infected semen, vaginal fluid or blood in the mouth is without risk. However, oral sex is considered a low risk practice.

Sharing injection needles: An injection needle can pass blood directly from one person's bloodstream to another. It is a very efficient way to transmit a blood-borne virus. Sharing needles is considered a high-risk practice.

Mother to Child: It is possible for an HIV-infected mother to pass the virus directly before or during birth, or through breast milk. Breast milk contains HIV, and while small amounts of breast milk do not pose significant threat of infection to adults, it is a viable means of transmission to infants.

The following "bodily fluids" are NOT infectious:
Saliva
Tears
Sweat
Feces
Urine

Can I get HIV from oral sex?

There is considerable debate within the HIV/AIDS prevention community regarding the risk of transmission of HIV through oral sex. What is currently known is that there is some risk associated with performing oral sex without protection; (there have been a few documented cases of HIV transmission through oral sex). While no one knows exactly what that risk is, cumulative evidence indicates that the risk is less than that of unprotected anal or vaginal sex. The risk from receiving oral sex, for both a man and a woman, is considered to be very low.?

Currently, risk reduction options when performing oral sex on a man (fellatio) include the use of latex condoms, but also include withdrawal before ejaculation without a condom (avoiding semen in the mouth) and/or refraining from this activity when cuts or sores are present in the mouth.

When performing oral sex on a woman (cunnilingus), moisture barriers such as a dam (sheet of latex), a cut-open and flattened condom, or household plastic wrap can reduce the risk of exposure to vaginal secretions and/or blood.

If you have other questions about oral sex and HIV, call the CDC National AIDS Hotline at 1-800-342-2437 (English), 1-800-344-7432 (Spanish), or 1-800-243-7889 (TTY). (Source: Centers for Disease Control - CDC)

There are charts all over the place about the most common STDs and how they can each be contracted.... HIV being possibly the hardest one to get (usually need blood transfer but also semen/vaginal secretions pose a risk), herpes being the easiest. According to many sources, it is estimated that 1 in 4 people has herpes, and 1/2 of all people contract an STD sometime during their lives. Of all STDs, you must remember that the bacterial ones are all curable, including but not limited to: syphilis, gonnarhea, and chlamydia, the most common ones. The viral infections are not to be fu-cked with, no cure, only decent treatment, get them and you got them for life: herpes (1 and/or 2), HPV (genital warts), and HIV are the most common. Most STDs are contracted mainly through intercourse, but the nastier ones (like herpes and warts) can conveniently and easily be contracted simply from skin-skin contact, in which case, they can be contracted from almost any type of contact, but again, unprotected intercourse is always the riskiest. Think you're completely safe with a condom? Think again. If you screw someone with herpes (whether or not she has visible sores), if your skin somewhere in your genital area (where you condom doesn't cover) contacts an infected area of her, you can get it. Needless to say, most oral sex is unprotected and this is a great way to get it too.

Ah... what else in the wonderful world of STDs..... oh yes, it is estimated that half the people with an STD DON'T EVEN KNOW THEY HAVE IT, in which case, they will go on about their lives banging other people and unknowingly infecting them. This means that you can't trust anyone, and testing is a MUST if you want to go your life free of STDs, especially the incurable ones. The scariest part of STDs is that even if someone exhibits no symptoms whatsoever, they could still be infected and give it to you, who, perhaps, won't be so lucky with the symptoms. Some have no symptoms, some do. Herpes is again particularly nasty because it has long periods of dormancy where it will retreat to your spine and then it can come back in outbreaks throughout your life at unpredictable times. Treatment it getting better but I for one don't want to have to worry about it at all, and endure the pain, let alone worry constantly about having to tell others you have it (and if you don't tell anyone and you knowingly infect them, may your soul burn in hel-l forever). Do I even need to tell you about the symptoms of some of these STDs? From pis-sing fire to agonizing puss-oozing sores, they aren't pretty. Just do a quick search on Yahoo and look at some pics

So, in conclusion, get tested if you are sexually active, and get tested with your potential sex partner too, as odd as it might sound, she should understand, and besides, it's her you are protecting too. If she doesn't want to, she either has something to hide (uh oh) or she is a stupid bi-tch/slu-t. Early detection and treatment is key. Like I said, most are actually completely curable (the bacterial bast-ards), but the viruses will also respond much better to treatment if you start it early and might be lesser in severity.

My final words of advice: Do not have sex with just anyone, and especially avoid ho-es. It is not hard to tell the slu-ts from the relationship type girls. Find a girl who actually has some intelligence, and some morals, or else you will be playing with fire. Other than this, try not to worry too much to where it holds you back from everything, but still be careful and don't mess with slu-ts. Nice topic we have here, I hope everyone can learn something.

No, No, No! don't be stupid pimpfromdayone. Read, read and read more. Don't believe what your friends tell you about HIV/AIDS.

You can get it just as easily as you can get Herpes. According to the US Gov't there are 950,000 people in the US infected with HIV/AIDS (2003 est.). Do you know all of these people personally? Do you know who they have slept with? Don't just post. Do research first.

Im sorry but intelligence and morals have nothing to do with catching an STD. Your rational is that sluts have std's and good girls dont. Thats retarded.

Use condoms. Probe the sexual history of your partner. Do google searching if you have to. Snoop emails.

Better yet, agree to have simultaneous testing done so that you can see her status with your own eyes.

DO whatever it takes to ensure that the girl you are going to be having sex with is not diseased. Sex is not worth death.

 

[pimpfromdayone]

Should've known someone would try to completely discredit my words, and my first post too, geez. OK Mr. Wiseguy (although I do understand you are a moderator and are trying to protect people), why exactly are there an underestimated 25% of the population with herpes?! AIDs may claim hundreds of thousands, but herpes, although much less deadly, is more common, and easier to get. You can get it easily from skin-skin contact as stated and you can get oral herpes from simply KISSING someone with the sore on their lip, but as previously noted, HIV is usually transferred via blood so it is not as easy to catch; vaginal secretions and semen and the other bodily secretions are less likely to cause it but still very dangerous. Believe what my friends told me? Um, just so you know, I have never and will never believe anything a "friend" tells me because most friends are full of shi-t. I have done plenty of reading, trust me.

As for the comment about me posting something about morals, well, I guess I should have known better than to post about morals in a forum meant for so-called "players". But, in case nobody ever told you, slu-ts and promiscuous girls DO have a higher chance of having STDs than good girls, even if good girls are not as good as they say, at least they aren't openly slu-tty. You take a whole population of slu-tty girls and one of "good" girls, and I guarantee the slu-tty population has more STDs.

"Your rational is that sluts have std's and good girls dont. Thats retarded."

Take a reading class and learn how to understand what people mean in their sentences man. You are the retarded one... I never said they don't have them, I said that more slu-ts have them and good, intelligent girls are less LIKELY to have them.

When did I say the good girls NEVER had STDs? I never said that, and you need to learn how to read more critically. Common sense my friend, anyone is a candidate for STDs, some who don't deserve it. Intelligent, mature girls are much safer for you than some dumb slu-ts you picked up at drinking parties. I for one will not subject my pen-is to the danger of sex with a girl who has been known to have threesomes and sex with a particularly large number of guys or anything else like that.... preferably she has only had sex within her real relationships, not one-night stands. Now, after you pick a good candidate, get tested simultaneously like luveno said, and there will be no problems. You do and think what you want though, just keep your dirty ho-es away from me.
