Adolescents are increasingly threatened by HIV.
Dr. Clove specially found Director Wang Lu of the Xuan Classroom of the STD/AIDS Prevention and Control Center of the Chinese CDC to tell young people that there are good ways to prevent and treat AIDS in what?
Condoms are the patron saint of young people’s sexual health.
Condoms are the [patron saint] that blocks the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. How powerful is this [god] and will there be omissions?
No doubt! The effectiveness of condoms in blocking AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases has been confirmed from the laboratory to the population: under the premise of correct use, latex condoms can effectively block all pathogens of sexually transmitted diseases, even the smallest pathogens of sexually transmitted diseases.
However, even if they are both [sexually transmitted diseases], their transmission routes are slightly different. For this little difference, the protective effect of condoms is different:
1. Diseases transmitted by bodily fluids
The effect is excellent!
Gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, AIDS, etc. These diseases are transmitted through body fluids (mainly semen and vaginal secretion), because latex condoms can well block the flow of these body fluids, therefore, the prevention and treatment effect for these diseases is very good.
Especially for HIV, epidemiology has studied the actual effect of condom blocking diseases in the population, and found that for HIV-positive sexual partners, HIV-negative parties who continue to use condoms correctly have far lower risk of HIV infection than those who do not use condoms.
2. Diseases through skin contact
It can reduce the risk of transmission.
Genital herpes, human papillomavirus, syphilis, They are spread through skin contact, but people who have used condoms know that condoms cannot completely wrap all external genital skin and mucosa. Therefore, condoms are less effective in protecting this kind of sexually transmitted diseases. However, correct use of condoms can also effectively reduce many such sexually transmitted diseases.
3. Diseases through close contact
There is nothing I can do.
There is also a type of sexually transmitted disease, which we may call parasitic disease. This type of disease can be transmitted without even insertion, caressing or other close contact, such as pubic lice. Condoms cannot do anything about this type of disease.
Therefore, condoms can not block all sexually transmitted diseases 100% in the actual use process. The blocking effect of condoms depends on what kind of sexually transmitted diseases are exposed to, the quality of condoms, and how much condoms actually cover.
How to use condoms correctly?
Correct use of condoms is very important, very important, very important! The following paragraph should be carefully read. How is correct.
- First of all, a new condom is required for each sexual intercourse. Before the genitals contact, when the penis is already erect, roll the condom to the penis toward the coat; After ejaculation, remove the condom before the penis weakens, and make sure not to spill semen. If you feel that the condom is broken, change it immediately. Enough lubrication is required during vaginal intercourse or anal intercourse, so lubricants are sometimes needed. Vaseline, various edible oils, body milk, massage oils and other oils cannot be used as lubricants, because these oils will make condoms brittle and easy to crack.
It is difficult for us to judge whether the sexual partner is infected with AIDS or other sexually transmitted diseases from the aspects of appearance, genital surface, physical strength, etc.
Remember, there is no safe person, only safe sex!
