Carnal knowledge: The sex ed debate

Soaring rates of sexually transmitted diseases among teens are adding urgency to the debate over sex education. Conservatives claim the alarming statistics illustrate why abstinence should be the single mantra when it comes to sex ed. Liberals counter that the increase in disease is the strongest case for more detailed information. Caught in the middle are America’s kids, who are more vulnerable than ever to potentially deadly diseases.

10 things to ask before having sex

1. Are you HIV positive?
2. Have you ever tested positive for a sexually transmitted disease? If so, were you treated?
3. How many sex partners have you had since your last STD and HIV tests?
4. Have you had any STDs in the past six months?
5. If you have been diagnosed with herpes or genital warts, are you having outbreaks? Are you being treated?
6. Have you been at risk for HIV in the past six months?
7. Do you have any objection to using a condom?
8. Are you allergic to latex?
9. Are you on any form of birth control?
10. Which sexual activities do you want to engage in?

Sex Infections Found in Quarter of Teenage Girls

The first national study of four common sexually transmitted diseases among girls and young women has found that one in four are infected with at least one of the diseases, federal health officials reported Tuesday.
Nearly half the African-Americans in the study of teenagers ages 14 to 19 were infected with at least one of the diseases monitored in the study — human papillomavirus (HPV), chlamydia, genital herpes and trichomoniasis, a common parasite.
The 50 percent figure compared with 20 percent of white teenagers, health officials and researchers said at a news conference at a scientific meeting in Chicago.

CDC: Blacks, gays at high risk for HIV infections

Young black gay men, black women and white gay men in their 30s and 40s are much more likely to be newly infected with HIV than other groups in the United States, according to a new analysis from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The analysis -- based on figures showing that the HIV infection rate for 2006 is much worse than previously thought -- looks at the number of new HIV infections and who gets them. The study appears in this week's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
It shows 53 percent of the estimated 56,000 cases of new HIV infection in 2006 were among gay and bisexual men, and 46 percent of the infections occurred among blacks. Within the gay and bisexual group, young black men (13 to 29 years old ) were roughly twice as likely to get infected as young white and young Hispanic men. And among women, black women were almost 15 times more likely to get HIV than white women and almost four times more likely than Hispanic women.

Safe sex ideas that raise eyebrows

Most people know that condoms prevent the spread of HIV and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

But in many parts of the world, condoms aren't very popular.
Here are five novel campaigns launched by nonprofit organizations and condom companies to encourage wider use.

1. A ring tone to remember
In India, people stigmatize condoms and refuse to wear them because they believe only prostitutes must use prophylactics. Leave it to one of the world's richest men to find a solution -- the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation donated money for a national condom ring tone.
An a cappella group sings "Condom, Condom" -- in the style of doo-wop like the contagious pop song "Barbara Ann" -- when one receives a phone call.

Despite its bubblegum sound, officials hope that the people who have the condom ring tone appear smart and responsible.

Got unhappy STD news? Break it with an e-card

Breaking up over e-mail is a social no-no.
But sending an e-card telling someone to get tested for STDs may be a public health courtesy.
Since 2004, a free Web site, inSpot.org has allowed users to anonymously notify their partners to get tested for STDs such as HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia and syphilis.
It may not be the most personal way of delivering the news, but researchers say it beats not saying anything at all.
"When you weigh the importance of getting people notified, that's ultimately what needs to be done," said Jeffrey D. Klausner, director of STD Prevention and Control Services in San Francisco, California's Department of Public Health. "By notifying them -- even if it's done anonymously, even distantly, even with an e-card -- the benefits of getting someone diagnosed and treated outweigh the concerns of insensitivity."

When STDs lead to infertility

Doctors don't have to tell 18-year-old "Rose" (who doesn't want to reveal her real name) the importance of using a condom every time she has sex.
"There really is a limit to how much you can trust somebody," the young woman said.
At 14, Rose contracted two sexually transmitted diseases: gonorrhea and chlamydia. She said she got the STDs from her first boyfriend.
"We used condoms at first. Then, me being naïve, we stopped," Rose recalled. "I thought he was only having sex with me."
The STDs went untreated and eventually developed into pelvic inflammatory disease, or PID, a condition that can lead to infertility.
Dr. John Douglas, director of the Centers for Disease Control's Division of STD Prevention, called infertility a "down-the-road concern" for many teens.

No Drop in Incidence of Sexually Transmitted Diseases

Educational campaigns have failed to reduce the incidence of sexually transmitted diseases(STDs). Some 14,000 cases of chlamydia are reported annually. This is in addition to between 100 to 200 new cases of gonorrhoea, syphilis and HIV every year.
The incidence of syphilis is higher than three years ago. Eija Järviö, Director of the Prevention and Education Sector of the Finnish AIDS Support Centre is concerned about the problem.

With STD's on the rise, the advice is: get tested

The U.S. has the highest rate of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) in the industrialized world, with more than 65 million people infected. 19 million new cases of STDs are diagnosed every year. 1 in 4 teens contracts an STD each year.n 1 in 2 sexually active persons will contract an STD by age 25. More than $15.3 billion is spent each year to diagnose and treat STDs, excluding HIV. Nearly 1.2 million people are estimated to have HIV, and 25 percent are unaware of their infection. 50 percent of the population will likely have an STD at some point in their lifetime. STDs and HIV are preventable. To read the complete story see Saturday's Republican-American or our electronic edition at http://republicanamerican.ct.newsmemory.com.

STDs still on the rise, report says

ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- In spite of prevention efforts, new cases of some of the most common sexually transmitted diseases are going up, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The report, "Sexually Transmitted Disease Surveillance 2007," also said that women and minorities in particular are more likely to have sexually transmitted diseases, or STDs.

That fact isn't surprising, experts say, as studies on STDs in the past have also shown that women and minorities bear the greatest burden of STDs. The age of those affected hasn't changed much either -- nearly 19 million new sexually transmitted infections occur each year, and almost half of those affect 15- to 24-year-olds.

Chlamydia: A Silent Epidemic

(CBS) A new study has uncovered alarming information about the most common sexually transmitted disease in the United States that doctors are calling "the silent epidemic."There are 4 million new cases of chlamydia each year. Researchers reported in a recent issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association that, out of 300 sexually active girls between ages 12 to 19, more than one fourth tested positive for the disease.

Scientists Study Parasitic STD

Scientists hope their study of a little-known parasite will lead people to seek treatment for an infection they may not know they have. The sexually transmitted bug — known as trichomoniasis — infects about 170 million people each year, including 8 million in North America alone. Researchers say the parasite is emerging as a major player in the spread of the AIDS virus around the world.

Condom Errors Common, Raise STD Risks

It's not enough to use a condom and assume you're protected from sexually transmitted diseases or pregnancy.
A new study shows that the condom has to be put on and used correctly in order to provide maximum protection.
Researchers found errors in condom usage and breakage were common and were associated with an increased risk of gonorrhea infection in men.
"The importance of proper condom use seems obvious, yet the results from this study demonstrate that it must be taught to even sexually experienced adults and that the lack of correct use can be linked to infection," write researcher Diane Grimley of the University of Alabama at Birmingham and colleagues.
"The tendency to assume that consistent condom users are using condoms correctly seriously underestimates their risk of transmitting or contracting STDs or becoming pregnant unintentionally," they write.

Sexually Spread Diseases Up, Better Testing Cited

(AP) Sexually spread diseases _ for years on the decline _ are on the rise, with reported chlamydia cases setting a record, government health officials said Tuesday.The increase in chlamydia, a sometimes symptomless infection that can lead to infertility in women, is likely because of better screening, experts said. In 2007, there were 1.1 million cases, the most ever reported, said officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Thousands of women become infertile each year because of untreated chlamydia and gonorrhea infections, said Dr. John M. Douglas Jr., director of the CDC's Division of STD Prevention.

Nationwide STD testing campaign launching in SC

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — A group in South Carolina is taking part in a nationwide effort to have young people tested and treated for sexually transmitted diseases.
Planned Parenthood plans a news conference in Charleston Tuesday to help kick off the effort, being mounted nationwide with the help of MTV and the Kaiser Family Foundation
The campaign is designed to encourage testing and treatment for STDs in young people under 25.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, South Carolina ranks third nationally in the rate of gonorrhea, 12th for syphilis and 10th for AIDS.

Fewer than half of U.S. women screened for chlamydia

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Fewer than half of vulnerable U.S. women are being screened for chlamydia, a common sexually transmitted disease that often causes few symptoms but can lead to infertility, researchers reported on Thursday.
Screening rates have spiked up from 25 percent in 2000 to nearly 42 percent in 2007, but that is still far too few women being screened, the team at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported.

Best STD antidote

As a new flu bug spreads across the globe, governments are acting swiftly to limit its toll. By contrast, Utah is facing an alarming increase in sexually transmitted diseases, and still the state is reluctant to give young adults, the age group most at risk, the preventive measures they need to stay healthy. That's inexcusable.

Students will learn about STD testing at school

Utah schools should teach students about the importance of getting tested for sexually transmitted diseases, according to an updated state health curriculum approved Friday by the State Board of Education.
State board members added the point about the importance of early detection at the urging of the Parent Teacher Association (PTA), Planned Parenthood and about a dozen high school students who spoke at the board's meeting.

"If they're sexually active, they should get in and get tested and that should be taught and encouraged," said Liz Zentner, health commissioner with the state PTA. Teachers were allowed to talk about testing before, but it wasn't an explicit part of the curriculum, said Frank Wojtech, health and physical education specialist at the State Office of Education.

Do you think health teachers should be allowed to encourage use of contraceptives?

Spermicide Ineffective Against STDs

The most commonly used spermicide might be an effective barrier against semen, but is no match for sexually transmitted diseases, new research has determined.
A study published in this week's Journal of the American Medical Association finds that nonoxynol-9 is ineffective in preventing the transmission of gonorrhea and chlamydia.

Talk to your teen about risks of getting an STD or AIDS

Our society moves so fast. Fifteen minutes is our attention span and then we've moved on. Remember our focus on the swine flu and all the hand sanitizer? Without an immediate epidemic, we moved on.

In the meantime, AIDS and STDs have been quietly holding their ground. While the statistics on STDs show we're making progress, the reality is AIDS is thriving. We let our focus shift and we better move it back - and fast.

In the recent past, most new HIV cases were being reported in persons over age 35. Now it's those under age 35.

Senate approves revised version of STD bill

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. —
A proposed law on its way to the governor's desk would allow some people with sexually transmitted diseases to treat themselves with an antibiotic, even if they don't seek medical treatment.Under the practice, called "expedited partner therapy," medical professionals who treat an individual for gonorrhea or chlamydia also may give the patient a single-dose antibiotic to pass along to his or her sexual partner. The idea is to prevent partners from re-infecting one another after one of them seeks medical attention. Expedited partner therapy will curb the spread of STDs, which have become a growing problem in Peoria and elsewhere in Illinois, said Sen. David Koehler, D- Peoria, who is the bill's sponsor.But an opponent, Sen. Dave Syverson, R- Rockford, believes antibiotics shouldn't be made available to anyone who hasn't visited a physician or another medical professional. He said he's particularly worried about how the measure would affect young people."This legislation would allow teen-agers – 13, 14, 15 – to get drugs and go out and give them to their sexual partners. The concern is it sends the wrong message, that this somehow addresses the issue of sexual diseases," Syverson said. "I think everyone ought should see a medical professional so they can at least get the warnings of those kinds of activities, especially for these young kids."Syverson was one of three senators to vote against the legislation, Senate Bill 212, on Wednesday. It passed on a 54-3 roll call. An earlier version of the legislation passed in the Senate earlier this year. But the House of Representatives revised the measure before approving it, a move that required the Senate to sign off on the changes before sending the bill to Gov. Pat Quinn. With his signature, the bill would become law.One of the House revisions spells out that health-care professionals who choose not to provide expedited partner therapy may not be penalized for that decision.

How to Tell Your Partner About an STD

You're diagnosed with an STD and faced with alerting your sexual partner. It's a very important obligation to fulfill as soon as you know there's an issue, says Mary McFarlane, a research behavioral scientist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Division of STD Prevention. When just an E-card won't do, here's how you can ease the stress of a face-to-face discussion:

"Summit Looks for Ways to Curb District’s Spiraling HIV/AIDS Rates"

On May 4 at the District of Columbia Black AIDS Leadership Mobilization Summit, participants discussed ways to respond to HIV/AIDS in Washington. About two months ago, the District’s Department of Health reported that 3 percent of all D.C. residents were known to be living with HIV/AIDS. More than 4 percent of the District’s black residents have HIV, including 6.5 percent of black men.

Cases Of Chlamydia, Gonorrhea Up In Utah Since 2003, Health Dept. Finds

The number of chlamydia cases increased by 50% and the number of gonorrhea cases nearly doubled in Utah between 2003 and 2007, according to a report released Thursday by the state Department of Health, the AP/KUTV.com reports. Many men and women experience no symptoms from chlamydia infections. Chlamydia, which can lead to fertility problems if untreated, is more than three times more likely to be reported in women than in men. The report found that more than 70% of chlamydia cases in the state occurred among women ages 15 to 24. Some men experience symptoms from gonorrhea, but most women do not. More men than women in Utah were diagnosed with gonorrhea. According to the new report, chlamydia was the most frequently reported communicable disease in the Utah in 2007 with 5,721 cases, while gonorrhea was the fourth most-reported with 821 cases.

HIV cases up among young people in El Paso

EL PASO, Texas — Cases of people testing positive for the human immunodeficiency virus, which can lead to AIDS, are up overall and among young people in El Paso.
The city's Department of Public Health shows that 22 cases of HIV have been reported in the first three months of this year. There were 64 cases of HIV reported in all of 2008.

STD Testing: the need of the hour

STD or Sexually Transmitted Disease is one of the major concerns for the medical science community. It generally denotes those diseases that travel from one body to another through sexual intercourse and other sexual acts. Like other diseases, this is also caused by viruses and these viruses take different body fluids like saliva, semen, etc. as a means for their transmission. However, even though sexual acts are the main way of transmission, this is not the only way. There are many other means as well.

Still, every disease has its own way to spread. HIV, for example, spreads mainly through the unprotected sexual intercourse. Other sexually transmuted diseases like Syphilis, Chlamydia, etc. spread through similar process. Herpes, on the other hand, can be spread through different ways.

In fact, there are two types of Herpes. The type 1 affects the mouth and therefore it is called oral herpes, while the type 2 affects the genitals. Both of them are however, caused by same virus named Herpes Simplex Virus or HSV.

There is a wide range of symptoms that can be found in herpes. Important among them are cold sores and painful blisters. They appear on the infected area, be it the genitals, or mouth and lips. The cold sores appear initially as fluid-filled blisters. Then it turns into painful ones. The number of blisters can vary from one to many.

One of the most critical factors about the disease is that its primary symptoms often heal quickly after their appearance. But that does not mean the total deletion of the HSV. Rather, they remain in the body and reappear after some time. Also, there is a tendency to think of the symptoms as ordinary skin irritation.

As many as 90% of people that have Herpes are not aware they have the disease. Oral Herpes can be found in more than 50% of the adults. This is dangerous as well, since oral sex can transfer the disease to the genitals. The disease can be infected to a new born baby if her mother has it during her pregnancy.

Therefore, every individual should under go STD Tests. Not only Herpes, other STDs also, can only be detected by STD testing. Since all of them can travel from one’s body to the other’s body, detection can prevent it from getting spread.

Learn everything about STD

STD is the acronym for sexually transmitted disease. As the name suggests, it denotes a type of diseases that passes from one person to another through sexual intercourse or other similar acts. There are a number of STDs and many of them are dangerous.

STDs are spread through sexual contact with an infected person. Since all such diseases are quite harmful, it is very essential to have STD Tests done to diagnose the disease properly.

Many STDs are viruses that are spread through contact with bodily fluids. For example, HIV is a viral STD that causes AIDS. There is still no remedy for this disease. However, many people have lived long, healthy lives because they were diagnosed early enough to get treatment.

There are other STDs like Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Syphilis, and Herpes. There are two types of herpes – oral and genitals. The general symptoms of the oral herpes are blisters and cold sores while the later one is diagnosed by shedding.

The disease is caused by a virus named Herpes Simplex Virus. The HSV is transmitted in different ways. It can travel to another person through the physical contact of the person. The oral Herpes can thus be passed through kissing. Oral sex can even pass this type of Herpes into the genitals and vice versa. However, the most common means of transmission for genital herpes is anal and vaginal sex.

Once infected, the area will have many blisters and sores. Sometimes, it may not have any symptoms at all. In some cases, people ignore the symptoms mistaking them as a common irritation or insect bites. The cold sores generally have fluid in it and this can cause pain as well. Though the primary infection often heals quickly, the HSV remains in the body and causes serious problems afterwards. So, it would be wise to go to a STD Testing Center and undergo testing, so that proper treatment can be done.

Most people choose not go get tested for STDs because they are embarrassed. They don’t want their family or employers to know that they are being tested. There are many places on the internet that offer confidential STD testing. SafeLabCentre.com offers safe, local and fast STD Testing at your convenience. They can offer you testing for any STD in state of the art labs. By visiting their website, you can review their STD Testing locations, as well as get information about STDs. Their counselors can help you decide if you need testing. SafeLabCentre.com can help you with any STD testing concerns.

What you need to learn about STDs and available treatments?

Among the various ailments people get afflicted with, STDs or sexually transmitted diseases are the most embarrassing for people to talk about. To avoid embarrassment, many people hesitate to opt for STD Testing or develop cold feet about visiting STD Testing Centers.

However, people can get afflicted with sexually transmitted diseases for various reasons. There are certain STDs like HIV that may come through blood transfusion also. However a majority of the sexually transmitted diseases are caused by unprotected sex with a carrier of the disease. People who do not practice safe sex or have penetrative sex with multiple partners are more prone to contracting STDs. This is applicable to both men and women.

There are some prevalent STDs that haunt a large number of people all over the world. Among the most commonplace sexually transmitted diseases are Gonorrhea, Syphilis, and Chlamydia. The HIV virus can lead to a deadly syndrome which is known as AIDS. It has no specific remedy as of now. Gonorrhea is an infectious disease that is acquired by sexual contact with a person afflicted with the disease. However, you can also acquire the disease if you come into contact with contaminated body fluids.

Gonorrhea is triggered by a bacterium named Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It can rapidly multiply in the body’s mucus membranes. The bacterium has a tendency to grow in moist and warm zones near the reproductive tracts in one’s body. It can also affect parts like anus, throat and mouth. It is a common STD in USA. Almost 700,000 people get infected with the disease every year in USA.

The problem with the disease is that it does not show syndromes in the body of the affected persons in all cases. Women may feel a burning sensation while urinating. Men can also feel the same symptoms and they can also feel pain in the testicles. In some cases, the symptoms can be mild enough to escape the attention of the afflicted people.

However, it is imperative for an afflicted person to get the disease treated at STD Testing Clinics. If gonorrhea is left untreated it can lead in to permanent and serious consequences. It may lead to the formation of pelvic inflammatory disease which may make one infertile.

There are many STD clinics that offer Confidential STD Testing that are ideal for those people who are concerned about their privacy. These clinics are committed to keep the identity and sexual statistics of the clients private. One can search the internet for STD clinics and sites that offer unbiased and scientific information on various types of STDs. However, if one is searching for a one stop resource for STD information and counseling his best bet is to visit safelabcentre.com. One can go to the site and use its toll free number for an appointment.

How can you conduct confidential STD Testing?

The benefits of the early detections of STDs

Due to the increasing number of STDs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases), if you think you have been exposed, you should have STD Testing done at your earliest convenience. There are many questions regarding the eligibility or qualification of getting STD Tests done. Studies say, as a rule, anyone who is actively involved in sexual relationship is eligible for STD Testing.

STD Tests are done to ascertain whether one is infected with a STD. A person who is not having sex has the least chance of getting infected with an STD. On the contrary, a person that is not in a monogamous relationship with a partner is at the maximum risk of getting contracted with STDs.

Therefore, if you have never undergone any Local STD Testing, make sure to go for testing before you have your next sexual encounter.
