Venereal disease is also known as sexually transmitted diseases. That is, this disease is most easily transmitted through sex, whether it's vaginal or anal penetration or oral sex. Usually sexually transmitted diseases infect people who often mutually unprotected sex partners. That is why you are encouraged to remain loyal to one partner to prevent the spread of venereal disease.
Unfortunately, being loyal to your partner does not guarantee you to be free from this disease. Why can? Find out the answer in the following review.
Transmission of venereal disease through intimate relationships
There are many types of venereal disease, such as chlamydia, HIV, syphilis, trichomoniasis, or also gonorrhea. All of these diseases are caused by viruses, fungi, and bacteria. For those of you who are already sexually active, the risk of getting venereal disease will increase. Especially if you have less safe sex activities, such as:
- Have more than one sex partner
- Do not use condoms during sex
- Use sex toys the same alternately
- Having sex with people who have multiple partners
Not mutually sex partners, why still get venereal disease?
In order to avoid transmission of venereal disease, apply the principle of safe sex. For example, do not change sex partners. However, this method does not fully protect you from venereal disease. What is the reason?
Even if you only have sex with your partner, it is not necessarily your partner to do the same. Not necessarily your partner is free from infection. So, the risk of getting venereal disease still exists. Especially if a female partner has or is experiencing a bacterial or fungal infection. The risk of getting venereal disease has a big chance.
Someone who does not maintain the cleanliness of his intimate organs, especially women, is prone to bacterial and fungal infections. Well, having sex is one way for bacteria, fungi, and viruses to spread or multiply.
Not only are bacterial and fungal infections, some types of viruses can also be transmitted through other things outside of sex. For example, your partner borrows from each other with a person with hepatitis, your partner can contract the disease. Then if you and your partner have sex, you are at risk of contracting hepatitis too.
Is faithful with one sex partner enough to prevent venereal disease?
Of course not. There are still a number of other things that you need to pay attention to to avoid transmission of sexually transmitted diseases. For example, transmission of HIV / AIDS. This disease is not only transmitted through sex, but also through the use of syringes alternately with the infected person.
You need to know that bacteria, viruses, or fungi that cause venereal disease can mix with urine, blood, sperm, vaginal fluids. Well, the transfer of all these pathogens can occur in various ways, not just through sex.
What are the steps to prevent transmission of venereal disease?
Apart from not changing partners, there are a number of things you can do to prevent transmission of venereal disease, such as:
- Using a condom every time you have sex. If you and your partner do not have a pregnancy plan, you should use a condom properly.
- Avoid using towels or underwear alternately. Venereal diseases such as trichomoniasis can be transmitted through this habit, although it is rare.
- Clean the genital area before and after sexual intercourse. You certainly know if a lot of bacteria attaches to your body, right? Rinsing with running water can cleanse some bacteria that attach, including the genitals.
- Perform routine health tests to detect the presence of venereal disease earlier. Also, maintain the cleanliness and humidity of your intimate organs.
- Get a vaccine immediately to prevent venereal disease, for example the HPV vaccine and hepatitis A vaccine and B.
