How to protect yourself from catching a STI?
The best method of protection against sexually transmitted infections is by using a male condom or a female dam every time you have sex. Click here if you are unsure on how to use a male condom or here for how to use an internal female condom. Barrier methods shouldn't be limited to penetrative sex and should be used when engaging in oral sex also.
Limit the sharing of sexual aids such as toys. If you do share them, make sure to clean them thoroughly between each use and between each partner. Make sure to cover sex toys with a condom before each use.
Can STIs be treated?
Many sexually transmitted infections can be treated effectively with short courses of treatment. It is best to start treatment as soon as possible to avoid developing any complications from the infection.
However, some infections will never leave your system, such as genital herpes, genital warts and HIV. There is medication available which can keep the symptoms of these infections at bay and delay the onset of complications associated with HIV such as AIDS.
If you do not treat the infections in a timely manner, then they can allow complications to develop which can lead to permanent damage to both your health and fertility. The infection can also be passed to others if not treated, which also allows the risk of longer term complications to be passed to your partner.
How can I tell if I have and STD?
Not everyone who contracts a STD will display signs and symptoms of the infection. If you experience any of the following, then you should seek further advice -
- Pain when passing urine or during sexual intercourse.
- Unusual discharge from the penis or vagina.
- Inflammation, pain, redness, itching, blisters or lumps around the genitals or anus.
- Bleeding after sex.
- Pain in the testicles or lower abdomen.
- Bleeding between periods.
PrivateDoc can help by organising the correct test to be sent to you and completed in the comfort of your home.
What does the test involve?
For most sexually transmitted infections, a simple examination followed by a swab test is all that is needed to confirm a diagnosis. Sometimes your doctor may also require you to provide a urine sample.
PrivateDoc can help you by providing home testing kits for gonorrhoea, chlamydia, trichomoniasis, genital herpes, genital warts and HIV.
For more complicated infections such as hepatitis B or syphilis, then you must seek medical attention from your GP as a test will need to be taken to confirm diagnosis.
