Herpes

Just incase you didn’t know because most don’t 🗣

This. This. This. Omfg this.

lol I made this post months ago
Funny how since Usher and his herpes comes to the light that’s when Majority of y’all started caring 🤦🏾‍♀️

To add onto this…. info from someone who screens for STDs:
1. Condoms protect against fluid
2. Anything skin to skin can be contracted
3. A new form of Gonorhea has developed that is resistant to antibiotics
4. If you have unprotected sex and get BV or a yeast infection it is because your vaginal pH does not mix well with the pH of his semen
5. That means you can get HIV
6. MORE THAN HALF OF THE POPULATION HAS HERPES
7. Type 1 is usually oral (cold sores) Type 2 is genital
8. You can give someone genital herpes if you have a cold sore and give them head
9. You can give someone cold sores if have genital herpes and receive head
10. Herpes lies dormant for years sometimes so you could have gotten it 10 years ago and it just now pops up
11. Most screening sites will not test for it, unless asked, because it cause problems within a relationship
12. Untreated chlamidiya (👈🏽 I’m trying) can make you infertile

You gave the most informative add on thank you
Idk wth everyone else is talking about

Reblogging this again for the “I hate condom dudes”

Two ways to protect yourself:

• Get the vaccination for HPV. It’s not just for cis women! HPV is nasty and causes cancer.
• Don’t be afraid to have a little light in the room to start out with, even if you later turn it off, to check things out with a new partner or hookup. Herpes is most contagious when there are blisters present.

Also, if you find out you have an STD, the etiquette is to tell all new partners until you’re cured or firmly undetectable and let all previous ones you may have infected know. 

Please don’t be afraid to get thoroughly tested! An STD isn’t the end of the world, especially if you catch and treat it early. 

More about HPV:

When people hear HPV, they think cervical cancer and genital warts. You can have HPV without visible warts. Also, if you are infected with HPV, times of increased stress and low immunity can cause warts and leisons to appear where there weren’t any.

Furthermore, we have screening tools for HPV and cervical cancer in women. It’s called a Pap smear. It’s not just some uncomfortable screening your provider does for funsies. Follow the recommendations and get your pap on time. Women ages 21-35 are at the greatest risk of HPV infection.

Additionally, GET THE HPV VACCINE whether you are a man or woman. Even if you are past the recommended age and you have had HPV before, you can protect yourself from infection from other strains. While the link between cervical cancer and HPV in women is well known, the people most likely to die of HPV infection are men. Throat and rectal-anal cancer from HPV infection is on the rise, and men(straight or gay or bi) are the most likely to be infected and go undetected, since there are little to no screening tools developed for men. It’s not just promiscuous people who get infected with HPV. Men in long-term committed relationships are contracting it through anal or oral sex with a partner who has been infected with HPV from previous sexual encounters. I can’t stress this enough: HPV IS FAR MORE DEADLY IN MEN SIMPLY BECAUSE IS VIRTUALLY NO SCREENING TOOL FOR IT. The best thing men can do is protect themselves before they contract it by getting the vaccine.

And finally: if you are a man and you notice and abnormal lump or knot or tingling or ANYTHING in your throat or your anal-genital region, do not hesitate getting that examined by a medical professional! As a medical professional, I can promise you it’s not nearly as embarrassing as you are making it out to be in your head. It is statistically proven that men are less likely to use primary care and preventive mecidince and screenings by a WIDE margin and therefore more likely to suffer fatal infections and cancers. Don’t be another statistic. Take care of yourself. Take HPV seriously, because it is. It can kill you and you’ll never see it coming.

I’ve reblogged this before but I’ll reblog it again because being safe during sex is important, not being careful COULD LITERALLY KILL YOU. This isn’t to scare people off sex. Sex is great, just be safe
