Sexually Transmitted Diseases STD

STD (sexually transmitted diseases) means that can be transferred while having any kind of sexual activity either Oral sex, vaginal sex, anal sex or sharing sex toys & body fluids like semen(cum), saliva and blood. India has the third largest number of people infected with HIV, over 65 million people infected with serious, chronical & incurable sexually transmitted diseases on an average over 10 % population of developed countries have minor or chronical STD. These diseases spreading among the homosexual people much faster rather than the heterosexuals. One in every 20 teens around the globe have any kind of STD or other sexual issues (like too much sexual addiction or lack of stamina etc.)

                         

Over 25 million people around the globe becoming newly infected with sexually transmitted diseases every year. There are lots of diseases that can be spread through sex for example: syphilis, gonorrhoea, herpes, chlamydia, genital warts, vaginitis, viral hepatitis, HIV and much more, If these diseases don’t get proper precautions & treatments and attention as well, is can cause their victim serious health problems permanent brain damage, heart diseases, cancer, sterility (not being able to get pregnant) and even death.

                           

An STD can victimize you if you ever did following things:

                              

Had sex with someone without using condoms (unprotected sex).

Had paid sex (using prostitutes for pleasure).

Using drugs can increase your chances of getting infected with any sexually transmitted disease & having sex with someone who is using drugs.

If you had many sex partners at the same time or infrequent change one after another.

Using alcohol by having any kind of sexual activity can increase your chance of having unprotected sex which leads you towards STD infections.

By not using male or female condoms properly.

                           

In most of the cases, STD doesn’t show any symptoms so you can never guess about it by just looking at the person. Be protected, be healthy. Hepatitis A or B is a liver disease caused by a virus carried through the body fluids like blood, saliva, semen etc. 

                             

HIV can be transferred through sexual relations, blood and from mother to baby while the time of pregnancy. STDs can be transferred by sharing needle while any kind of medical treatment activity but usually STDs spread by this way in the people who used to inject drugs directly into their muscles or blood & share needles while doing it. Even through any kind of contact with areas around the genital parts either by lips or another person’s genital parts can spread sexually transmitted diseases, while kissing someone if anyone among those two persons have infected with any STD and have any kind of cut around the lips, over the lips or inside mouth, the other person can get infected with similar STD just through the blood inside that minor cut or even through the saliva of another person.

                              

Most of the sexual transferring diseases can be cured by some specific treatments and can be prevented by getting vaccinated in right age. But few of these diseases can’t be cured or controlled by any medicine, treatment process or vaccine like HIV, HIV is the virus that causes AIDS, as most of us have already read and listened so any times that HIV directly effects on the immunity system of the human body which will lead victim towards lots of other common & critical diseases and eventually the destination of such person is death because there is still not even a single proven and guaranteed method of curing AIDS. HIV can be transfer from mother to baby while the pregnancy, delivery, or breastfeeding. But in the case of a pregnant woman the chances of spreading HIV to the baby can be greatly reduced by some medicines, it is possible that an HIV-infected mother’s child can be saved from this virus during the pregnancy time. There isn’t any cure or vaccine for HIV but there are just a few medicines which can help infected people to live longer.

                            

Sexually transmitted diseases can affect victim’s brain, eyes, body temperature, immune system, digestion system, nervous system, sexual capacities and most dangerously these diseases can affect a pregnant woman and her child, the child may have slow growth rate, undeveloped brain, physical disability or can even die in mother’s womb. Some STDs can make a lady unable in getting pregnant. Men can be affected by them as well; such viruses and infections can make men sexually incapable or less captive by giving them various kind of sexual and genital disorders. 

                         

It is also possible that any person can get infected by two or more sexual transferring diseases at the same time and one can get infected again from the same virus even after getting cured once. So, postponing the treatment can put you even in harder or incurable situations. If you have been infected with two or more STD you should take proper treatment from any well-experienced doctor on necessity basis before those diseases start behaving as a catalyst for each other & sometimes virus started acting like a compound virus or sometimes viruses started acting as a catalyst & protection shields for each other. Even due to a very minor STD your chances of getting infected with HIV increases multiply. No matter either you are a teen or adult or an old person, either a man or woman, Healthy or unhealthy, have any blood group, these diseases can make you their victim in any case.

                            

Following are the most common sexually transmitted diseases affecting people around the globe:

                               

Gonorrhea, Syphilis, Chlamydia, Herpes, Hepatitis A B & c, HIV, Genital Warts, Vaginitis, Chancroids, Trichomoniasis, PID, Scabies, Yeast Infections, Pubic Lice, Molluscum Contagiosum etc.

                              

Causes of STD transmission:

                              

One of the main cause of spreading of STDs is that the people feel shame in discussing their problems with their guardians, partners or with any doctor, which leads them even more chronical levels of infection.

Having unprotected sex, never forget to use excellent quality of condom.

Too much indulging with prostitutes and giving preference to paid sex.

Having many sex partner, one should avoid this and be faithful to their one partner, it will also keep them safe from STDs.

Sharing sex toys.

Needles sharing.

Through body fluids like blood, saliva & semen.

Using drugs & alcohol leads you towards unprotected sex.

Having fantasizing and uncontrolled sexual life (having unnatural sex more than limits.)

Becoming sexually active in younger age.  Being a teen guys & girls usually don’t have enough knowledge about the precautions & risks related with sex that’s why they usually get infected various STD viruses.

Foetus can be affected if the pregnant mother has any STD.

Keep getting checked properly by an expert doctor frequently.

                              

As per a report WHO (World Health Organization) ten years ago over 1 million people each day became infected by an STD and in present time these figures are much higher, most of the victims of these diseases are youth aged up to 25 years old and 1/3 of total numbers of the victims affected first time at the age of 20. Around the globe, the total number of sexually transferred diseases affected girls aged b/w 14 – 19 are just double of the number of boys of same age group.

                          

All We Need To Know About Zika Virus.

Although Medical Science Knows about Zika virus almost from seven decades, but it emerged as a serious, deadly, harmful outbreak for humanity from last few years. As per the decades passed this virus muted and keep becoming more & more lethal. There are still so many things about this diseases from which we are still unknown. But one thing we all know that it’s one of the deadliest & strangest diseases spreading around the globe.

       

In most of the cases Zika never shows common symptoms of illness like joint pain, fever, rashes, weakness, cold, muscle ache, red eyes, etc. maximum after a month from getting infected it can be checked through the blood or urine test. Zika most importantly a major concern for pregnant women, this disease is so dangerous for them that it can latterly demolish the fetus and can become a hanging sword over the life of the mother.

 

     

The primary medium of transfer for Zika are mosquitoes (Aedes & Aegypti type of mosquitoes are the main reason for this disease), Zika can also be transferred through all kind of sexual activities like vaginal sex, oral sex, anal sex or sharing the sex toys, it can also cause birth defects in newborn baby, doctors are now clearly suggesting getting tested about Zika before planning for a baby, if one of the partners visited a Zika infected country they should wait at least for 8 weeks even for having a casual protected sex.

     

Medical science still not sure about if this virus can affect under development brain of the fetus, what are the effects of this diseases on a living person’s brain. Scientist still not have any idea about how to determine exact physical damage or delayed development can be detected in a Zika infected fetus, it’s a physically undetectable disease. It is also possible that Zika can make a compound with other mosquito’s transmitted virus like dengue and chikungunya, these three viruses were once spreading in brazil in 2015 and there were so many cases found who was infected by two of these viruses at the same time. But it’s still unknown that is it any kind of compound of virus or just other viruses are performing as a catalyst for Zika.

         

Zika was first discovered in monkeys (Similar to HIV) in Uganda in 1947 and the first human case was found in the same place in the year 1952. In 1980 lots of people in Africa and Asia got affected with this disease but up till then Zika showed a mild illness in its victims, but from 2007 it emerged in massive outbreaks many times and shows itself as a very lethal virus that’s why scientist believe that Zika can be mutated virus which is getting more & more dangerous with passing decades. It has ended thousands of lives around the globe up till now. Now Zika have victimized around 60 nations, a few years ago we were thinking it’s just another kind flu causes fever, platelets loss, ache etc. but in last 2-4 years we get to know that it can cause neurological disorders, birth defects, and miscarriages as well, science still unknown with the other long term effects Zika can cause. And due to the temperature rising and climate changes earth is becoming a much habitable place for this disease, this virus can stay in human blood without showing any activity around for one week and can stay for much longer in other body fluids like semen, saliva, and urine.

     

As per the recent researches Zika can stay in semen for 62 days it means it can be transferred into the partner even after man seems recovered so we can say it was nothing less than a surprise for medical science because before Zika science never seen a mosquito’s transfer virus can be sexually transmitted and can cause birth defects. This disease usually affects lower income communities, if you don’t have an air conditioner at your home & shields at your windows and you and your family are quite familiar to mosquito bites this virus can easily affect 

you.

Be Safe, Avoid Mosquitoes, Eat Clean, Be Healthy.

Diseases That Can Be Transmitted Through Oral Sex

Is it possible that someone gets infected with any sexually transmitted diseases (STD) due to oral sex? Yes, very much possible, many STD like chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis etc. can be transferred through oral sex. However, one can protect himself/herself from getting any STD by using a condom. As per the technical explanation oral sex is when someone touches his or her lips tongue or mouth to someone’s genital parts, anus, or area around these two. Many STD shows no symptoms.

     

Oral sex is a very much common sexual activity in sexually active adults , as per the results of various global and national level surveys more than 80% of sexually active adults and youth( 15- 50 years old) had oral sex at least once in their life till yet, it is a very much common love making technique in both heterosexuals as well as homosexuals, but very few people know that it(oral sex) can even transfer serious and deadly diseases cancer and HIV, for example, if the person whom with one is having sex have a cut on his/her lips or somewhere around the lips or anywhere inside the mouth, or on his/her genital part or area around the genital part the other person immediately get infected with HIV through the blood or the semen(cum) if they aren’t having protected sex. Secondly, if we take for example that one person among a sex having couple has any kind of gum or mouth cancer, genital cancer or any other mouth’s & genetical diseases, there is a very strong chance that another person who was fit and fine just a while ago, will get infected with the same disease. These chances of getting infected can only be reduced up to a certain level by having protected sex and controlled sex life.

    

Diseases that can be transmitted through oral sex:

Chlamydia

Gonorrhoea

Syphilis

HSV 1&2

HPV

HIV

Herpes

Trichomoniasis

Genital Infections

Throat Infections

Rectum Infections

Urinary System Infections

     

Preventions (ways of reducing the risks):

Have protected sex, use condom & dental dam etc.

Cover the penis specifically non-lubricated latex condom(in easy terms avoid 5bucks costing condoms)

Use high-quality plastic (polyurethane) condoms if the partner is allergic to latex.

Cut a condom and open in the square shape and put it b/w the mouth and partner’s genital parts(penis/vagina) while having oral sexual activity.

Prefer oral sex only with partners whom you are in a long-term relationship and you are sure about that your partner isn’t infected with any kind of STD

Get a proper check-up from a doctor and talk to your doctor openly about the situations & problems.

These diseases can be way much harmful to a pregnant lady and the child inside her womb so it’s a clear and straight suggestion, avoid any kind of sexual activity even from the day one of pregnancy.

                 

Few STD has some symptoms too as per following:

A strange kind of discharge from vagina or penis, it can be bloody too.

Sometimes it feels like burning inside or at the edges of genital parts while urinating

Swollen or painful penis or vagina lips  

Rectal discharge & pain

Diseases Spreading Due To Global Warming

Global Warming affecting human life and nature on a dangerous scale everywhere around the globe, Bird flu, Cholera, Ebola, Plague, and various skin diseases are just a few names among the long list of diseases spreading due to global warming and harmful changes in climate. For stopping these diseases from becoming a black death worldwide like the flu caused death 2- 4 crore people worldwide in 1918 and demolished 1/3 population of whole Europe, people around the globe must get serious about the deadly changes in climate due to global warming.

We must take required serious steps on the global level before it becomes a deadly unstoppable outrage of diseases and causes humanity a huge immeasurable loss. Increasing temperature, uncertain weather changes and raining giving mosquitoes, bacteria and various kind of deadly viruses almost perfectly habitable place around the globe, most significantly in Africa and dense forest area around the equator, from where through the various mediums these diseases spreading everywhere on the planet. Following are the main diseases affecting human life as well as nature on largest scale:

                

Bird flu

Ebola

Babesiosis (malaria like viruses)

Cholera

Lym Diseases

Plague

Parasites

Red tides

Tuberculosis

Rift Valley Fever

Yellow Fever

Sleeping Sickness

                

Global warming melting the permafrost, various kind of deadly viruses and bacteria will be unleashed & spread around the globe, those were frozen under a thick layer of ice from hundreds & thousands years. A trailer of this upcoming possible threat came in July 2016 when a 75-year-old reindeer carcass became free from ice due to rising temperatures, causing the first anthrax crises since 1941 that killed more than 2,000 reindeer and made 13 people ill in Siberia. Due climate changing and temperatures rising, diseases once graved inside ice of the tropics are free and traveling far from the equator towards the other parts of the world, that’s why the world now facing the diseases with whom we are not used to like Zika. Mosquitos carrying the virus around the globe and if we keep warming our planet, controlling mosquitos will become more difficult. As much warmer weather these diseases and mosquitos will get, as faster they will develop from egg to adult and stronger viruses of various diseases will become.

                 

There could be other much deadly viruses frozen under the ice of tropics up till now. But if this global warming will be continued on same or high rate, the whole life on earth will have to face diseases like that we never imagined before, after many researches experts clearly giving us warning that there can be such viruses underneath the ice around the whole globe those may be meters deep in ice and frozen from 28k or 30k years but if serious steps against climate changes will not be taken those will also come out and for sure rule over the whole life or earth by spreading lots of deadly and incurable diseases, thousands or even lakhs of human, plants and other forms of life is dying due to diseases spreading through uncertain and harmful changes in climate around the globe.

                         

Bad effects in brief:

Extreme heat

Natural disasters

Allergens and other nuisances

Poor air quality

Spreading diseases

Climate trends differ by region.

Some people are more vulnerable to illness or death

Wealthy nations will be dominating 

                 

Many existing diseases, viruses and bacteria’s are still there around us those can be affected by the climate changing like cholera, malaria, dengue etc. Some diseases like dengue, malaria, chikungunya are spreading because of the mosquitos those carries these viruses can not survive in normal or low temperature and humans are giving them habitable weather conditions to survive by raising the temperature around the globe. Global warming is allowing viruses and bacteria for spreading diseases even in those places where they never attacked before.

                        

Climate change is destroying the nature in a way that is making earth a better habitable place for infectious diseases. Only 1 0r 2 degrees rise in temperature can cause just diseases outbreaks that will wipe out most of the life forms from the earth.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases In Homosexuals

Sexually Transmitted Diseases have increased enormously among the gay, bisexual men and lesbian women around the globe, as per the facts and results of various surveys Sexual disorders and diseases have increased and victimized more than 50% homosexual persons around the globe, this figure is even higher than 80% in developed and western nations like USA, Mexico, Most of the Europe etc.

Most common diseases spreading among people are anal, oral cancer and various kind of anal, oral infections, the possibility of such kind of diseases are 17 times more in homosexual persons rather than any heterosexual guy or lady. As per the many government and social level surveys around the globe possibility of many partners or changing various partners are higher in homosexual persons due to this they are highly victimized with HIV virus, total percentage of HIV+ homosexual among whole homosexual population around the world is much higher than the percentage of HIV+ Heterosexual persons among whole Heterosexual population.

    

For living a healthy life people must use a condom and have protected sex, most of the time condom gives total security from cancer, HIV, and other sexually transmitted diseases if they(condoms) failed sometimes it means they aren’t used properly. HIV and other sexual diseases can be spread through unprotected anal, oral, or vaginal sexual contact or just by skin to skin touch of genital parts, some sexual disorders and diseases can also be transmitted through the contact with the area around the genital parts even when persons are protected with condoms.

Not even any kind of sexual contact few such kind of diseases (like HIV, chlamydia, and gonorrhea) can be spread by body fluid like semen(cum) or blood. So, people must beware even when they are kissing their partner or just taking their semen inside them you through oral and anal activities, Sexual diseases can be transferred even by a little cut in the skin of mouth, anal or area around the genital parts. Most of the STD doesn’t show any kind of symptoms, the only way to check it is to get properly tested by doctors when someone has even the simplest, smallest, and most common sexual diseases like herpes, chances of getting HIV increases up to 200%.

Every gay, bisexual, lesbian who ever have sex with a person of similar gender should be tested on the regular basis. The only way to know about the status of these diseases is to get tested, this is very important for every person’s and their partner’s health. Doctors recommend that every Homosexual person should get a test for HIV at least once in a year and for other diseases once in 3 or 6 months.
