About two months ago I got a call from a ex that informed me that she had herpes, I was devistated. While herpes isn't exactly fatal it does prevent you from having a normal sex life. Fortunately, after doing a blood test I found out that I am not infected. Here I hope to inform the un-informed about all the STDs in the world. You may be thinking, why write a guide on STDs there are PLENTY of guides out there. The problem is these guides aren't written in plain english and some are very hard to understand. I hope to clear this up a little bit. [GENITAL HERPES] There are two types of the herpes virus, simplex type-1 and simplex type-2. They both serve the same function, type-1 is usually the cause of oral herpes, and type-2 is what causes genital herpes. genital herpes can be transmitted the following ways: - oral sex if the person has oral herpes can give his/her partnet genital herpes. - one partner infected with genital herpes can give their partner genital herpes. - can be transmitted without any symptoms - there is no proof that you can get the virus through inanimate objects such as public toilet seats, the virus is fragile and will not survive long. Genital herpes often comes with no signs or symptoms and can take up to a few years before the first symptoms start to appear. If there is symptoms they can be any of the following: - one or more sores, blisters, cuts, pimples, bumps or rash on or around the vagina, penis, anus, thigh, vulva, scrotum, buttocks. - itching, burning, or tingling in genital area - common cold symptoms, headache, fever, etc. - painful urination, or a discharge though VERY UNCOMMON the problem with detecting genital herpes is that the breakouts look similiar to that of a ingrown hair follicle, insect bite, or razor burn, which makes the person believe that they are not infected. Genital herpes is done with a culture test if detected quick enough, otherwise a blood test is done. It is important to realize though that the blood tests are NOT 100% accurate, it is possible to have a positive report and it is actually only oral herpes because the blood test cannot distinguish between type 1 and type 2. There IS NO CURE for genital herpes, however there is medication designed to speed up the healing process and reduce the breakout occurance. Some of the medicines available include: Zonvirax, Famvir, Valtrex [CHLAMYDIA] A very common type of TREATABLE STD, chlamydia is a bacteria infection which means it responds well to anti-biotics. Chlamydia is transferred through sexual intercourse, but it is uncommon to get chlamydia through oral sex at both recieving and giving though it is possible. It is more possible for the woman to recieve giving oral than the guy giving oral because the semen can contain the virus. Once again, chlamydia doesn't have symptoms immediately and the infected person can transmit it at any time until the treatment is 100% cleared. The symptoms are similiar to gonorrhea and are often confused but the common symptoms are: - inflamed urethra (penis/vagina infection), rectum (anal infection), and eyelid (eye infection) - soreness and redness of throat or mouth if oral infection occurs - vaginal/penile discharge - pain during urination - pain or swelling of the testicles (male) - lower ab/back pain, pain during intercourse, nausea/fever (female) The treatment for chlamydia is antibiotics, the common ones treated for the disease are Doxycycline and Azithromycin. There are also alternatives such as Erythromycin, Ofloxacin, Levofloxacin. [GONORRHEA "THE CLAP"] Gonorrhea is another treatable bacteria infection which is passed during oral, anal, or vaginal sex. Gonorrhea cannot be passed through casual contact (as in toilet seats, etc.) The symptoms of gonorrhea are often confused with chlamydia. The symptoms include: - yellowish white discharge (male) - yellow/bloody discharge (female) - burning or pain when urinating (both) - urination is more often that usual (male) - pain or swelling of the testicles (male) - lower ab/back pain, pain during intercourse, bleeding between menstraul period, fever, nausea (female) - getting gonorrhea orally generally has no symptoms but if there is any it is usually a red sore throat. If left untreated gonorrhea can cause infertility, inflammation of the prostate gland, urethral scarring in men. In women it can lead to PID, miscarriages, chronic mentstrual difficulties. [HIV/AIDS] HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) it what causes AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). Having HIV and having AIDS are two different concepts, HIV is the virus that causes AIDS, AIDS is the end result of the HIV infection. There are a few ways to get HIV: - Sexual intercourse with the infected person - Sharing the same needles with an infected person - Being born with a mother that was infected - Blood transfusion (no longer a threat) - It is possible though rare to get HIV through oral sex or even deep kissing..but generally the person has to have a open-sore or cut in their mouth. The symptoms are like many other STDs, most people will not get any symptoms and it is not a accurate way to diagnose yourself with HIV just on symptoms alone, but symptoms include: - fever, headahce - sore muscles,joints - stomach ache, swollen lymph glands, skin rash HIV is not detectable UNTIL the immune system has responded, so in early stages you could test negative for it yet still have the disease. There is no cure for AIDS, many people live years and years after getting diagnosed with AIDS, others die shortly after infection. There is medication for those infected with HIV to slow the process of HIV destroying the immune system. [CRABS] Crabs, sometimes called pubic lice is a infestation of parasites that attach themselves to the pubic hair of the infected person. The symptoms of crabs include itching in the pubic region, this is caused by an allergic reaction to their bites, there may also be eggs/nits that attach to the base of the hair. Symptoms of crabs usually occur 5 days after infection. The condition can be spread until treatment process is complete. This means anything the person shares (i.e. toilet seat) may give it to a uninfected person.
