How are STD’s prevented?
STD’s can be prevented in various ways and some ways that STD’s can be
prevented is Abstinence, vaccination, reduce number of sex partners, mutual
monogamy, and use condoms. Preventing STD’s can be easier then it seems an
example of a way of preventing STD’s is before you and your partner become
active in having sex you should both should get checked up before becoming sexually
active with each other. Another way is knowing how many partners that your
partner had before you. You have to be aware of you partners past of who they
were sexually active with so you can be aware if you they will put you in risk of
getting an STD.
A
good way of preventing STD’s is Abstinence with your partner. Abstinence is
defined as not having any type of intercourse like oral or vaginal intercourse.
You shouldn’t do it if you are not comfortable enough with your partner or if
you don’t believe you are ready. Abstinence prevents any types of infection. Abstinence
also prevents woman from getting pregnant. According to the what is Abstinence
article it says, “Used continuously, abstinence is 100 percent effective in preventing
pregnancy. It also prevents STDs” (What is Abstinence 2014).
Prevention of STD’s starts with the education and counseling
of STD’s. It also is about knowing the signs and symptoms of any sexually
transmitted disease. “Primary prevention of STDs begin with changing the sexual
behaviors that place person at risk for infection” (Clinical Prevention Guidance
2011). “As part of the clinical interview, health-care providers should
routinely and regularly obtain sexual histories from their patients and address
management of risk reduction as indicated in the report” (Clinical Prevention
Guidance 2011). "Client-centered counseling can increase the likelihood that the
patient undertakes or enhances current risk-reduction practices, especially
among persons seeking STD care.”(Clinical Prevention Guidance 2011).
My
references basically explains that STD starts with people being sexually
active. It gives information to people to inform them ways to prevent STD’s. It
tells you ways that helps you aware of being in risks of having a sexually
transmitted disease. In my references a good way that prevents STD’s is Abstinence
and it is explained detailed because it is the most productive way that keeps
you out of risks of having a sexually transmitted disease. Another good way of the
prevention of STD’s is becoming educated about STD’s and knowing what can
happen when you have a STD.

I enjoyed reading your first post on your blog! I think STD prevention is very important. There was many facts that I believe are super important to know. I think everybody will be able to learn something from this topic, especially being college students who may or may not be in a relationship. Its important to know these facts for our own health as well as spreading it to people we love. Excited to see your other posts!
ReplyDeleteIt is important for many people to become more aware of STDS, and it does start with education. I also liked how you included different ways of preventing STD's. Abstinence is a good way of preventing STD's, and other mistakes from happening. It's also important for both partners to talk about their sexual history before having sex, and to get tested. Getting tested can help so many STD's from spreading. In other words, it was a good article.
ReplyDeleteGood, very interesting and daring. I like the approach you took. You mentioned how to stop what is all the time the start of the problem. Although people have many different views there is nothing wrong with hearing something new. It was very informational but straight to the point you touched on very good key points.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your first post. This is something we can never hear or read to much about. Although this is taught and understood many people still don't think getting a STD can happen to them. Especially us as college students people are at a higher risk, because college is usually partying and not to many people rely on condoms or remaining abstinent when their drunk or even having a good time. Its important that everyone not just college students understand this!
ReplyDeleteI really like your first post. I'm looking forward to following your blog. Your topic is very important especially because we are college students. I like how you went in for the kill and did not sugar code, however it was still really professional.
ReplyDeleteSafe sex is the best sex. You should really learn about STD's, HIV and all that stuff when you're at a young age. It will help you make the right choices when the time comes. Knowing who you're having intercourse with is important because you should talk about their past and who've they been with. Make sure you're with the right person.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you offered other ways other than abstinence for STD prevention. Vaccination can help protect future sexual intercourse, but it is a small chance that this would protect them from this risky action. Informative post.
ReplyDeleteThis is a topic that needs to be more openly discussed among college students. I like how you presented ways to prevent STDs from every angle. Great post.
