CAUTION: 4 Kinds Of “Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs)” That Condoms Cannot Prevent!

CAUTION: 4 Kinds Of “Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs)” That Condoms Cannot Prevent! Yes, I know this is real bad news for many people. A couple of sexually active individuals think they are completely protected from contracting any kind of sexually transmitted disease as long as they use a condom during sexual intercourse. However, this is not really the case. The fact is that you can still catch an STD even when you use a condom 100% of the time during intercourse. This is because during sex, the scrotum (a pouch of skin containing the testicles- where the sperm is produced) of the man, which is not covered by condoms may still touch the vulva (the external opening of the vagina), and guess what will happen – you are in – STD. Some diseases that can be contracted include: 1. Genital Herpes – A disease caused by a variety of the herpes simplex virus and characterized by blisters in the genital area. You should remember that research has suggested a link between cervical cancer and genital herpes. This is because about half of the women who have cervical cancer also have genital herpes. 2. Genital Warts – A small growth occurring in the anal or genital areas, caused by a virus that is spread especially by sexual contact. 3. Pubic Lice – Pubic lice, also known as crabs, are tiny insects. They live most commonly in pubic hair and are spread through close body contact during sexual intercourse. 4. Molluscum contagiosum – Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a viral infection that affects the skin. It is highly contagious and easily spread especially with sexual intercourse. This really calls for proper care and it’s important you chose your partner carefully. Sources: www.psychologytoday.com
