Accepted Answer

: All correct.

Question 2

had sex a week ago and used protection. am i at risk for std? i know getting tested is best way. looking for general info. thanks.

Accepted Answer

Condom effectiveness: Condoms are highly effective in preventing those STDs transmitted through genital fluids, such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, and HIV. They are less effective (but still helpful) in reducing risk of those transmitted skin-to-skin, like syphilis, herpes, and HPV. You are exactly right:  if at risk or otherwise concerned, get examined and tested. Good luck!

Question 3

my ex-gf informed me that she has hpv.  we both took the full std tests and were negative.  should i tell my current gf this info?

Accepted Answer

Get checked first: First go to the MD and provide the above information for him/her to do the necessary examination and testing to see if you have any signs of warts(HPV). If that is positive, only then discuss this with your present girlfriend by explaining that you were just informed and took the necessary action to correct the problem, BEFORE, reengaging her in "exchanging bodily fluids".(intercourse.)

Question 5

i recently had unprotected sex with my gf whom i've been with for over a year. this has always been the case and i have never been with any other woman. i have a sensation on the tip of my penis but info not feel pain when i urinate. is this an std?

Accepted Answer

Probably no STD: No STD is a likely cause of such symptoms, and it sounds like you're not at risk for STDs. See a doctor to be sure nothing physical is wrong. If nothing is found, I suggest you look for emotional conflicts or stresses to explain your symptoms.

Question 6

is it stds??

Accepted Answer

Dr. can check urine: There are many signs that may suggest depression, such as:  feelings of sadness or hopelessness, angry outbursts or irritability, loss of interest in normal activities, sleep disturbances, tiredness or a lack of energy, either weight gain or weight loss due to appetite changes, anxiety or restlessness, slowed thinking, feeling worthless, etc...  Seeing one's primary care doctor is a good start.

Question 7

what causes stds?

Accepted Answer

: Twenty or more viruses, bacteria, and other organisms (e.g. trichomonas, a protozoan) are the causes of various STDs. You can only catch them by having sex with an infected partner. There are many online sources for comprehensive information. Two of them are the US CDC (www.cdc.gov/std) and the American Sexual Health Association (www.ashasexualhealth.org). Also many other public health departments

Question 8

what kinds of stds are there?

Accepted Answer

STD: Bacteria, viruses and parasites can cause STD's. Herpes, Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), Hepatis B, Hepatitis C, HIV are viruses which can be spread sexually, Trichomonas is a  parasite, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea &amp; Syphilis are bacterial infections.

Question 9

what are the causes for stds?

Accepted Answer

Germs.: Bacteria, viruses and parasites can cause STD's.

Question 10

i was wondering if i had stds

Accepted Answer

Get tested: If you're "wondering" about possible STDs, presumably you are sexually active and at risk. You must be tested. There is no way to know, and it is not possible to be treated accurately, without testing. Get in touch with the San Diego health department, where you can be tested (and treated, if necessary) at little or no cost and without your parents knowing. Use condoms! Good luck.
