In late 2008, Bradley University published a survey which showed that the UK is the “one-night stand” capital of western industrialised nations. A study published in The European Journal of Contraception and Reproductive Health Care suggests that one in two people in the UK has unprotected sex with his/her partners without knowing their sexual history. Safe sex is something which is seen as non-spontaneous and non-exciting among teens. Risk of pregnancy is the major concern for women engaging in unsafe sex and they believe that one-time is no risk at all. Unfortunately, this assumption is wrong, as there are many risks associated with unprotected sex.
Promiscuous nature - What does it cost you?
In a survey, it was found that 50% of the total male and female population in the age group of 15 to 19 admitted to have been engaged in oral sex. Just think about it, these kids have not even celebrated their 20th birthday yet. Some of the factors that influence teens to have unsafe sex are passion of the moment, pressure from their peers, and media which often portrays casual sex as the norm. Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are the most common and dreadful aftermath of unprotected sex that has seen a significant upsurge in the last decade. Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are transmitted from one person to another through sexual contact.
Sexually transmitted diseases - Facts and figures
According to the Health Protection Agency, sexually transmitted diseases have spread alarmingly among the younger people in the UK. Of the new cases registered at sexual health clinics, two-third of them were female aged 15-24. According to the statistics, men and women are getting involved with more and more sexual partners. The acts of dogging (having sex in the public) and orgies have become widespread phenomena. In many of these situations, people don't care to practice safe sex. Some of the most common STDs are chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, genital herpes, and trichomoniasis. Genital herpes is the most common sexually transmitted disease within this category.
Genital herpes - An overview
Genital herpes is caused by herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) and spreads from one person to another with physical contact with the infected person. The other type of herpes simplex virus, HSV-1, causes cold sores or fever blisters. The common symptoms of herpes include outbreaks of painful, red, watery blisters and ulcers around the genitalia. Pain during urination, vaginal discharge, and fever are some of the other symptoms associated with genital herpes. Because of the dormant nature of the herpes simplex virus, no medicine can cure herpes, but the symptoms can be controlled during an outbreak and treated by antivirals through suppressive therapy.
Treatment
Valtrex is an antiviral medication which an infected person can take during an active herpes outbreak to get relief from the uncomfortable symptoms. Genital herpes treatment with Valtrex can be continued for long term to push the herpes virus into remission. Antivirals such as Valtrex and Famvir can also be used for herpes zoster treatment. These medicines can also be an effective option for cold sores treatment. Suppressive treatment is also considered for controlling the symptoms and providing relief to patients during outbreaks of herpes. Famvir is a powerful antiviral medication which, when taken at the first sign of an outbreak, can prevent the full-blown herpes attack within 24 hours.
