Since two years ago, the fight against the new coronavirus infection has continued, and interest in infectious diseases is increasing all over the world.Preventive behavior has become a daily routine, and as people avoid contact with others to prevent infection and maintain a distance, sexual contact is also restricted, and now platonic love has become mainstream. I also listen to the story of.However, the relationship with a partner varies greatly depending on whether or not you have had sexual contact.It is strange that having sexual intercourse with someone who is a complete stranger makes them the closest to you, and even more important than your relatives.The existence of a partner who shares sex is a source of energy to live in life, and its existence is a big thing.
Behind the work of love, we must be careful about "sexually transmitted diseases", and the main ones are gonorrhea infection, chlamydia infection, herpes infection, and condyloma acuminatum. Facilities are reported as fixed points.There are also syphilis and HIV/AIDS, for which reporting of all cases is obligatory.In addition, infections such as HPV (human papillomavirus) and ATLV-4 are becoming more important these days.
Sexually transmitted diseases can be avoided by taking certain preventive actions.Prevention of sexually transmitted diseases is necessary as well as prevention of corona infection.Chlamydia infection has the highest infection rate among the four diseases mentioned above, but a report in 4 pointed out an increasing trend among people in their 2020s.Among high school students, there are cases where after having sexual contact, they are worried that they may have contracted a sexually transmitted disease.It's exactly ′′ don't regret it first ′′ and when you notice it, you may have been infected.
The figure shows trends in genital chlamydial infections among women by age (reported by the National Institute of Infectious Diseases). It turns out that young women in their 20s have a high infection rate.
To prevent sexually transmitted diseases,
① Check each other's infection before sexual activity
② Have sex only with a specific partner
(XNUMX) Always use a condom when you are not sure if you are infected
It is important.
Women's genitals are more vulnerable to sexual activity, and the vagina has more mucous membranes, making it more susceptible to infection than men.If I have a lover, I would like to create a relationship where I can talk about sexually transmitted diseases.
