So 3/12 under 30 and 1/12 will be over 29, thats not too bad... for the older people

davyjose

I gave up sleeping around a while back after an STD checkup. It came back clear, but I remember thinking WTF would I do if it said I had HIV or something. Could you imagine that? Could you imagine trying justify in your head that you had AIDS because you drunkenly banged some slapper after a night out? A roide that would have been no better than even the lamest fap. No way.

Given that HIV is on a sharp increase amongst young hetero's, I feel I've made the right choice..........

My girlfriend is reasonably happy about it too :pac:

That includes HPV which is usually harmless, invisible and the body's immune system fights it off. Just sometimes people get unlucky and certain strains can lead to Warts/Cervical Cancer

I would have thought it would be more than that. Sure you can carry them around for years without knowing.

I read that the spread of STDs in Ireland is actually more to do with people having numerous monogamous relationships rather than unprotected sex with strangers. I know I wouldn't have sex without a condom with someone I barely know whereas I have had with boyfriends and I have to admit I shouldn't really think that just because he isn't sleeping with anyone else but me at the time doesn't mean he hasn't got something nasty lurking up there. And vice versa. I suppose the moral of the story is to get tested regularly.

Have a safe Valentines!

12th February 2009

Make sure you have a happy and safe Valentines Day! Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) are on the increase. Many STIs have no signs or symptoms, but they can have devastating consequences for health and fertility if left untreated.

Those who are most at risk from STIs in general are young people under the age of 25, people who have had 2 or more sexual partners in the previous six months and men who have sex with men (MSM).

Despite public awareness campaigns, access to information, prevention and treatment advice high numbers of STIs continue to be reported to Departments of Public Health in Ireland.

Dr Margaret Fitzgerald (Consultant in Public Health Medicine) commented that "In recent months the number of more serious infections that have been reported across different age groups affecting both men and women is worrying. The infections reported include are syphilis, gonorrhoea, acute hepatitis B, HIV and Chlamydia".

Syphilis

A big concern for Dr Fitzgerald is the resurgence of syphilis during the 2007-08 reporting period. In 2001-02 there was a major outbreak of syphilis in Dublin which mostly affected men who have sex with men (MSM). The outbreak was contained through public health interventions of awareness raising, increased testing and contact tracing and the numbers decreased between 2003-06. However since 2007 again there has been an in increase in new cases of early syphilis affecting mainly MSM not just from Dublin but from most parts of the country. In 2008 alone there were 96 new cases of early syphilis reported. Syphilis is very treatable if diagnosed early and it is extremely important to treat all sexual contacts of diagnosed patients. It is also important to carry out a full STI screen as many of those infected are at risk from HIV and other infections.

Chlamydia

Another concern is the increase in diagnosed cases of Chlamydia, which is the most common STI notified to Public Health Departments. In 2008 there were 1855 new cases diagnosed in the HSE East region - an increase of 35% on 2007 figures. Chlamydia is a bacterial infection that affects both men and women. Young people (25 and under) appear to be particular at risk. It is called the "silent" STI because for the majority of women and about half of men there are no symptoms. There can, however, be serious long term effects especially for women such as chronic pelvic infection and infertility.

The infection can also be passed to babies at birth. According to Dr Fitzgerald there is better awareness of Chlamydia generally now than in the past and this may contribute to the rise in numbers of people diagnosed but these figures could also be an under represent of the true burden of Chlamydia especially in women. Chlamydia is very treatable when diagnosed, and a full STI screen should be carried out to rule out other infections. It is also important to treat sexual contacts of diagnosed patients.

If you are concerned that you may have an STI get advice from you local STI/GUM clinic, Doctor or contact the HSE Drugs/HIV Helpline 1800 459 459 or one of the support services listed on the dedicated HSE website, www.yoursexualhealth.ie.

Very much on the rise and on the rise in the young hetro population who didn't get proper sex edu in school and were too young or not born when all the late 80s early 90s hiv wear a condom campaigns.

HIV is only a small part of the STD problem.

Actually good point. I've known a few women who also disregard condoms if they are on the pill, women in their late 20's and early 30's that should know better. Can't say I made too much of an issue of it either!

Forget about AIDS, it's Super AIDS that you have to worry about.

I don't entertain the drunk bit at all. If i was so drunk that i could not put on a condom then i'm too drunk to have sex. I wouldn't be able to find it if i was that drunk.
