There would probably be a greater population that are carriers of STD's, and depending on the quality of health care, there may be an affect on fertility and average life expectancy.

Having said that, I do know a guy who does NOT believe in STD's. He just doesn't. He never uses protection and sleeps with whoever he wants. I find this totally baffling.
He says the body rids itself and cures itself of whatever ails it.

I am just glad that he isn't someone that I would ever sleep with, but it's scary that someone as educated and seemingly clean cut as him thinks this way. Where there is one like that there are bound to be more, so that is why each person has to be responsible for theirselves, and not leave it up to others.

Some of my daughters friends thought that birth control prevented STD's!!! I lost it when I heard that. These girls are 19 and 20 years old and have had sex ed, they should know better!!

I think a great majority of people are vulnerable to be "mis-educated" about the dangers and realities of STD's because "denial" suits the fast-paced and carefree lifestyle, more appropriately.

Many men prefer to not use condoms if a woman is on birth control. Many women allow men to not use condoms, because - ? I would guess to appease men?

Regardless it is a fact that BC pills do not prevent STD's.

If anyone doubts the reality of STD's they should quickly do a google search on Genital Warts and Herpes and look at the photographs.

Also, please research Syphillis and HIV.

I said, 'well, what if you catch an STD'?

and he said, very indignant, I might add, 'I think I can tell when a girl is dirty'!!

This is reality people. This is how teenage boys think! Well, some of them, anyway!

The schools, the parents, whoever are NOT doing their jobs, if a kid can walk around believing that he can tell if a girl is carrying something by the way she looks!
It's very scary.
Cos, what are the stats now, Ps, I just saw this on tv. One in ten adults have something? I mean ONE in TEN are carrying something around?

If we don't get educated and quick, this will be a pandemic and maybe send us right back to victorian values. Wouldnt that be a trip!!!

Well, it's a bad time too for this kind of situation to develop, because the access to health care has suffered in the States because of lack of health insurance.

Anyone who personally has lost loved ones to A.I.D.S. know damn well it is horribly real!

I did not want to post this but I fraking know they are too damn real!
In the wild times of the Vietnam war era;
I contracted Gonorrhea 3 times!
I was practicing what I thought was safe sex;
using a condom each time.
The guys all looked clean and healthy, with no symptoms!
The worst bout was an incredibly horrific Southeast Asian one.
There is no way to describe the agony of acute Peritonitis with Septemia.
Peritonitis is an inflammation of the membrane which lines the inside of the abdomen and ALL of the internal organs. This membrane is called the peritoneum.
Untreated it always leads to death.
I almost died, even with IV antibiotics.
I bled from every bodily orifice, every,
including tears of blood.
My abdomen outside was covered in dark purple bruises.
I was fevered, 104, in a coma during part of it, and screaming in unrelenting agony feeling as if someone were ripping my guts out with acid dipped razors and punching me with jackhammers until I would go into shock.
Most likely my severe IBS attacks and some of my reproductive woes were/are caused by the scaring and fibrous Abdominal adhesions,
Which are bands of tissue that form between abdominal tissues and organs. Normally, internal tissues and organs have slippery surfaces, which allow them to shift easily as the body moves. Adhesions cause tissues and organs to stick together.

So yeah,
stds are real!
Fortunately I was cured but live with the aftermath of the damage done.
More fortunate than my friends who have or have died from A.I.D.S.
Additionally, a guy I know, and his wife, both have Herpes.
They have 3 children which had to be conceived in a petri dish and implanted in her.
It was very expensive but the only way to make sure the babies were not infected.

Another man I knew had to have a full circumcision due to Syphilis in his 30s.

And genital warts...these folks can never have unprotected sex even for reproduction.

Add to the list are such gross things as "tiny livestock".
Ewwwwwww.

So this idiotic concept that there are no stds.....
frake that!
It is that kind of stupidity that leads to more cases of stds!

PS.So am I paranoid now about having sex?
Frake yeah!
With my soon to be ex, I practiced safe sex,
but no longer having any sexual contact with him. My last stds tests came out fine since last contact with him.
So until I know I am in a monogamous relationship, know that myself and the other person are both std free;
{I've been tested and will get retested even though tested A-OK)
Well, it is abstinence for me!

I doubt LEXX (of ALL LINDALAND PEOPLE) is just out to take her "IRE" out on someone. She is seriously offended.

Just sayin.
