Being diagnosed with venereal disease or sexually transmitted infections is certainly a big blow for everyone. Because, venereal disease is still a thing that is considered a big disgrace. Do not immediately lower yourself, when you get venereal disease there are some things that you should do immediately.
Things that need to be done when getting venereal disease
The following are the main steps that need to be taken when you get venereal disease, namely:
1. Remind yourself that you are not alone
Although the view of venereal disease is still very negative but the fact is that in America nearly 20 million new cases occur each year.
Basically, venereal disease is tantamount to other non-sexually transmitted diseases. Don't be discouraged, just remember that you are not alone. Do not let you experience depression because of thinking about this and feeling alone.
2. Don't blame others
When you are convicted of venereal disease, maybe what is on your mind is to contact your partner, get angry, and blame him. Even though you don't know exactly where you contracted this disease.
If you do suspect your partner is transmitting venereal disease to you, try to keep calm even though it's difficult. Invite your partner to talk and ask him to do the same test.
Because, sexually transmitted infections are not always transmitted through sex. HIV, for example, is included in an infection that can be transmitted through a blood transfusion process because the needle is used repeatedly.
3. Invite your partner to talk
Another important thing you need to do when you get venereal disease is to invite your partner to talk. Remember, be sure not to talk as seriously as this through text messages or phone calls.
Try to spend time directly. This way, the risk of misunderstanding can be avoided. By meeting face to face, couples can also ask various questions that fulfill their minds.
4. Find out as much as you can about the illness you have
When convicted of having a venereal disease, find out as much as you can about the disease you have. Find out from the start the causes, symptoms, modes of transmission, to treatment options.
Be sure to find out if the disease that you have can be cured can only be treated. The reason is that some diseases cannot be cured but can be managed with the right treatment.
By knowing clearly and surely the condition of your body at this time, you will know what needs to be done.
5. You can still have sexual relations
Many people think when someone has a venereal disease, then their sex life is over. Don't be mistaken, you can still have sex and bring it back to life provided you and your partner practice safe sex and both know the risks.
Therefore, all you need to do is find as much information as you can about the disease you have. You can also ask your doctor about what you can or cannot do before or after sexual intercourse.
6. Prepare mentally for the worst possibilities
One of the worst possibilities when you get venereal disease is experiencing rejection from people around you, including your partner. In this case, you need to realize that venereal disease is indeed considered a frightening specter.
In fact, not infrequently, there are people who come in contact and are reluctant to think they will get infected. Even though it's difficult, you still have to accept it gracefully and remember that you are not alone.
Look for a support group with similar conditions so that you better understand that the most important thing is not to regret and lament the situation but how to still be able to live normally as before.
Having a venereal disease certainly does not prevent you from being able to be useful to others. One of the things you can do is educate people around you about venereal disease and the danger of free sex done carelessly. Make the problem that befalls you as learning material for you and also the closest people.
