What is the only way to eliminate your risk of sexual transmitted infection?

Abstaining from sexual activity is the only 100% effective method of preventing STDs because it is the only method for which all sexual contact is avoided. If you do not have contact sexually, you cannot get the STD. All the other methods involve some type of sexual contact so none is 100% effective.

Condoms made from natural materials such as Lamb intestine have not been proven effective in preventing HIV transmission?

They are not very effective in preventing HIV transmission. They are probably better than nothing, but lamb skin condoms have microscopic holes in them - the holes are small enough so that sperm cannot pass through, but STDs and HIV are still a risk.


Can an STD cause urinary tract infections?

One reason STDs spread is because people think they can only be infected if they have sexual intercourse. That's wrong. A person can get some STDs, like herpes or genital warts, through skin-to-skin contact with an infected area or sore. Another myth about STDs is that you can't get them if you have oral or anal sex. That's also wrong because the viruses or bacteria that cause STDs can enter the body through tiny cuts or tears in the mouth and anus, as well as the genitals. STDs also spread easily because you can't tell whether someone has an infection. In fact, some people with STDs don't even know that they have them. These people are in danger of passing an infection on to their sex partners without even realizing it.


How can you have safe sex without a condom?

The term "safe sex" does NOT cover birth control- but is directed at preventing the spread of HIV (AIDS). Condoms CAN provide SAFER sex, but condoms DO fail -some studies show a failure rate of about 12%. If you are having sexual intercourse, condoms (when ALWAYS used and used correctly) can significantly reduce potential exposure to most STDs. However, the only TRUE safe sex is to have sex only in a mutually monogamous relationship (with only one other person, that also only has sex with you, and both of you do not have an STD.)

How do STDs differ from other communicable diseases?

STDs are typically transmitted through sexual contact, while other communicable diseases can spread through various means such as direct contact, air, food, or water. STDs often have long incubation periods and can remain asymptomatic for a while, whereas many other communicable diseases have more immediate and noticeable symptoms. Additionally, STDs can have serious long-term health consequences if not treated promptly.


NuvaRing I know you're supposed to use protection the first week of NuvaRing but I was wondering if this is still necessary after the first month?

It is not necessary to use a backup method of birth control or extra protection after the first 7 days of using NuvaRing. However, always keep in mind that NuvaRing only protects against unwanted pregnancy and does not protect against STDs. Condoms are suggested for protection against STDs.
