1. You used one condom during the transition from one type of sex to another: from oral to vaginal, from anal to vaginal, etc.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a very easy way to get, for example, bacterial diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. You engaged in oral sex without a condom\/latex napkin.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember: oral sex is also sex! Almost all STDs are transmitted this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. You used one condom with multiple partners during group sex.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this situation, the condom protected only one person: the one who wore it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. You have had skin-to-skin contact with a person with herpes on the lip or papillomas elsewhere on the body.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Herpes and papillomas are always unpleasant, especially on the genitals. Therefore, if a partner with herpes on the lip offers kisses or oral sex, politely refuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. You used someone else’s toothbrush or razor.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bleeding gums are very common and it’s also easy to cut yourself while shaving, putting you at risk of contracting an STD. Don’t skimp on hygiene products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. You used the same towel, and clothes as a person diagnosed with an STD.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Always have your own towel so you don’t read about scabies and pubic lice later on the Internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. You share sex toys.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sex toys cannot be shared! If you do this, then you can use other people’s “devices” only after they have been thoroughly disinfected with a special disinfectant. After disinfection, be sure to put a condom on the sex toy. So you better start getting your personal intimate toys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. During oral sex and anal licking, you can pick up anything by licking.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During oral sex and analingus, there is a risk of infection, for example, with various types of hepatitis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is nothing shameful about taking care of your own health. If you are worried about a particular infection or symptoms, do not stay silent and do not wait for the development of the disease complications from it: make an appointment with your family doctor, infectious disease doctor, or gynecologist as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more truthful you are during this conversation, the more effective the treatment will be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember that it is always easier to prevent infections and diseases than to treat them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
