Definition Contagious illness that transmits another person by means of the sexual exchange or other sexual behaviors. The transmission of the infection Many of the organisms that cause the ETS live on the mucous membranes that cover the urethra, vagina, year and mouth. Some of them also live on the skin. Most of the infectious organisms are transferred by the direct contact with an ulcer or injury on the genitals or mouth. Nevertheless, some organisms can live in the corporal fluids without causing a visible injury and they are transferred by the contact with these fluids. The ETS is transmitted both by heterosexual and homosexual practices. Another person can be transferred during the anal, vaginal or oral relation. Some sexual, such practices as the anal relation, they take a higher risk of transmission of certain illnesses than other sexual, such practices as the vaginal relation. Some ETS also can be transferred by not sexual direct contact with textiles or infected fluids. A common way of not sexual transmission is the contact with the infected blood, for example, sharing the needles when intravenous drugs are used. This is an important cause of transmission of VIH and of hepatitis B. Other not sexual ways of transmitting the ETS are the transfusion of contaminated blood, the transmission of the mother to the fetus across the afterbirth and, rarely, the transmission across the milk on having given of sucking. Definition Practices that increase the risk of acquiring a sexually transmitted disease (ETS). Types of behaviors The behaviors of high risk include:
To drink alcohol or to use drugs increases the risk since these behaviors increase the probability of which a person takes part in a sexual activity of high risk. Also, many of the organisms can be transferred by means of the shared use of needles or another tool of consumption of drug. The groups of high risk include homosexual or bisexual men, users of intravenous drugs who share the needles, sexual couples of the persons who are included inside the groups of high risk, children who are born of mothers with an ETS, and persons who received transfusions of blood or coagulating products between 1977 and 1985 (before the norms faced to avoid the presence of VIH in blood and hemoderivados). Definition Capture of precautions, which diminish the risk of transmission and acquisition of sexually transmitted diseases (ETS), on having had sexual relations. Specific examples of behaviors of sure sex The abstinence is an absolute answer to prepare ETS but it is not practical not, in most cases, desirable. A monogamous relation with a person about whom it is known that no ETS has contracted is, probably, the most acceptable preventive measurement that can take in the current society. To meet his couple. Before having a sexual relation with a new couple, it is prudent to protect itself of the presence of ETS, especially VIH and hepatitis B. The use of condoms for both sexes diminishes significantly the probability of contracting an ETS, but the condoms must be used appropriately. The condom must be in his place from the beginning up to the end of the sexual activity and must be used whenever an individual commits himself in a sexual activity with not monogamous couple or another suspicious couple. The condoms are cheap considering the consequences that stem of contracting an ETS. Other measurements
This sounds obviously, but many people commit themselves in a sexual activity without establishing earlier an awkward relation that allows a confidence and open communication. You should discuss with his couple past sexual histories and any ETS or use of intravenous drugs, as well as also his current health state. He must feel free to initiate or to finish a relation, without feeling forced to have sexual contact.
There is essential the uniform and correct use of the condom. The additional use of lubricants can diminish the effect barrier. There is recommended the use of condoms of latex both for vaginal and oral relations. The people who chooses to take part in sexual activities that involve anal contact must look for additional information to be able to reduce the risks, consulting their own advisers or specialists in public health available in most of clinics or centers specializing in VIH.
The use of alcohol or drugs can diminish the capacity of communication and the coordination needed to use barriers or lubricants. The alcohol and the drugs can reduce the aptitude to do elections adapted on the sex.
The persons with infection for VIH or AIDS must not donate blood, plasma, organs, or semen. From a moral, ethical and legal point of view, the above mentioned persons must warn any supposed sexual couple of his situation of positive VIH. They must not exchange corporal fluids during the sexual activity and must use any preventive measurement (such as a latex condom) that contributes more protection to the couple.
The women with an ETS must be advised before going so far as to remain pregnant women, since his son runs risk. The pregnant woman must ask for medical attention to prepare the infection in the fetus. The women positive VIH must not give of sucking his baby. In short, the education of surer sexual behaviors needs precise information, previous planning, and ideal communication between the couples. With such measurements, the couples can enjoy the pleasures of a sexual relation while they minimize the potential risks. Some individuals can prefer to include the precautions to avoid a pregnancy in the definition of behaviors of sure sex. Nevertheless, this text alludes only to the prevention of the illness.
