Story number 1 "STIs are transmitted only for vaginal sex"
Legend has a lot of unpleasant consequences in the form of gonococcal tonsillitis (for those who prefer oral sex), shigellosis and amebiasis, "caught up" in anal sex, etc. It is worth to remember that the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases (almost all) - all kinds unprotected sexual intercourse - vaginal, oral and anal. The causative agents of STIs, in addition to the defeat of the genitourinary system, can cause proctitis, pharyngitis, .
Story number 2. A condom does not protect against infection, so use it is useless
Nonsense! Already the possibility of trichomoniasis, chlamydia, gonorrhea condom to prevent 98-99%. from scabies and pubic lice, he certainly can not save, because the infection is just a skin disease through close contact of bodies, which "allows" any act of love .
Story number 3. If you use the coitus interruptus - you never get infected
It is a dangerous delusion. transmission of STDs is not only in sperm (not to be confused with the sperm). If your partner is sick, then pathogens will find a way to get into your body, and ejaculation has nothing to do with it.
Story number 4. Women. Douching helps not to get sick
Protect against STDs even with some degree of probability can only wash genitals with antiseptic solutions, such as manganese, chlorhexidine,, etc. And then the 100% guarantee, this method can not give. When used for irrigation only tap water, which is not an aggressive environment for pathogens, it can only be a great success "push" them to a higher cervix. And cause serious complications such as inflammation of the endometrium and the uterus. Such a - one of the factors in the development of such nasty diseases such as bacterial vaginosis and candidiasis (thrush).
Story number 5. Men. It makes no sense to protect themselves, you only need to urinate after sexual intercourse
Indeed, if we think of it, urination in men is on the same channel as the sperm, and as a consequence, sexually transmitted infections , so there is little chance of that with her "come out" outside the newly settled in the germs. But the chance to really small, so the doctors say only "some reduction in the risk" of disease, not that it is a panacea. Since the damage from this event can not be - better to use this method, but do not forget about such powerful means of protection, like condoms and antiseptic solutions.
Story number 6. If we are caught - is a 3.2 day something will necessarily symptoms.
Unfortunately, the symptoms may not appear at all, or occur in a few weeks after STI, when you stop to tie them with a random link. And instead of venereology go to the therapist, or a gynecologist - who will treat the effect (eg, angina gonococcal or "allergic rash" when in fact it is the first stage of syphilis). So, if you dearly health and symptoms themselves and did not show in the next few days - be sure to visit and make venereologist designee "preventive" tests. It is better to be sure that everything is all right, what hope for a "maybe".
Legend number 7. "Swim in the pool (washed in the bath) - that's sick STI"
Misconception about the transmission of STDs such fairly stable, because it is "useful" and helped to keep thousands of "cell of society", one of the representatives are somewhere in a fit of passion, "picks up" STD and brings her husband (-e). Likely to contract STDs through casual EXTREMELY negligible, since all the agents of these diseases is very "soft" and die quickly, devoid of the usual "amenities" stay in the host organism. In real life only to become infected with scabies and lice.
Story number 8. A man "status" can not hurt STI
Genital infection does not look in the diploma, marriage certificates and other documents, "earned" in the course of our lives. They are uneducated, and all that they need - moisture, warmth, a good breeding ground for breeding and a comfortable existence. And they can provide almost any human body. Therefore, when the social status of casual sex "married / married," "teacher / doctor '," Professor / cleaning lady "- there are no security guarantees can not give.And the fact that educated people are increasingly turning to the doctor, so they are more "proven" - also a myth. As time is often a high social status and allows a person to enter into the cabinet for years venereology, because it is "shameful" and "God forbid someone finds out." And more media venzabolevaniya which he proceeds asymptomatic or malosimptomno, not even a suspicion that sex with him could be dangerous to another person.
Story number 9. "He (s) working at a grocery store (in kindergarten, in the clinic) - hence, no infection could not be"
This myth requires separate consideration. First of all, we live in Russia. And know well how much is "reliable" diagnostics for medical books. Very inexpensive, "fuss" No, but the employer is satisfied that it is not necessary to break the law and take the "untested" employees. Second, even if laboratory tests are conducted for registration medknizhki "according to the rules," there are many questions to the quality of reagents, laboratory preparation, etc. Thirdly, the surveys for medical books to pass the state requires only a general smear and serological reaction for syphilis.These studies do not reveal many STIs such as chlamydia, mycoplasmosis, ureaplasmosis, viral infections (herpes, cytomegalic inclusion disease, genital warts), which may be present in humans and not be detected by microscopic method - research overall stroke. And fourthly, the reason for the unreliability of test results - especially the flow of STI themselves. Some diseases have a very long period of so-called seronegative. This means only one thing - the person may be ill for several months and even contagious to others, but the results of analyzes will long remain negative.
Story number 10. Symptoms - go to the pharmacy and the doctor is not sure!
This misconception leads to great complications. Because it is not identifying the enemy, it is impossible to find "by eye" on the Internet, or "on the advice of a friend" adequate treatment.The maximum that can be done in such a way - to delay the disease, "teach" good germs hiding in your body and provide a chronic process, that threatens to inflammation, adhesions, infertility, etc. And in the case of syphilis, for example - the complete destruction of the body, which is "softly and quietly." All in all - to go to the doctor MUST!
