Against Sexually Transmitted Diseases

Clearly, there are only two ways to minimize your own changes of contracting an Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) you either avoid all sexual activity with partners, or somehow make sure you never have sexual relation to anyone who has the remotest chance of being infected. The second alternative is perhaps most possible for those who are married. Those who are married need to know some basic precautions just to be on the safe side.

• If you thinking of having relations with a person who might be infected. It's wise to beat in mind that disease can be transmitted in several ways not only through genital contact, but also through kissing or through genital contact, but also through kissing or through contact with broken skin or pores.
• It does help to have the man use a condom and for both partners to wash their genitals carefully. And women may run less risk of gonorrhea in particular if they use vaginal spermicides. But beyond that, the general rule should probably be this. Try to limit your sexual activity to partners you can trust and talk to honestly.
• Concern for other is part of health responsibility, too. If you go to a health professional for treatment of a suspected STD, you will probably be asked to name people you have had sexual contact with. Despite the embarrassment or hostility that this may create for you or your sexual partners, remember that you may ultimately be doing a number of people a very important favor by cooperating with health worker.

The point is obvious: Everyone should know the basics about STDs. Lets look at some of the major ones, starting with gonorrhea and then moving on to syphilis, herpes, and others.
