Myth 1: You Can Tell If Someone Has an STD Just by Looking at Them
Fact: Most sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) do not show any visible signs or symptoms. People can live with an STD for years without knowing it, inadvertently passing it on to partners. The only way to know for sure if someone has an STD is through testing.
Myth 2: The Pill Protects Against STDs
Fact: While oral contraceptives (the pill) are effective at preventing pregnancy, they offer no protection against STDs. The only contraceptive method that also provides some protection against STDs is the condom, which should be used to reduce the risk of STD transmission.
Myth 3: STDs Can Only Be Transmitted Through Intercourse
Fact: Many STDs can also be transmitted through oral sex, and some, like herpes and HPV (human papillomavirus), can be spread through skin-to-skin contact. Using barriers like condoms and dental dams during all types of sexual activity is crucial for protection.
Myth 4: Two Condoms Are Better Than One
Fact: Using two condoms at once, often called “double-bagging,” can actually increase the likelihood of both condoms tearing due to friction between them. Always use one condom at a time, and make sure to use it correctly.
Myth 5: You Don’t Need to Worry About Sexual Health Until You’re Older
Fact: Sexual health is important at any age once you become sexually active. Early sexual health education and preventive measures like vaccinations for HPV can protect health long before a person becomes sexually active.
Myth 6: STDs Always Cause Symptoms
Fact: Many STDs can be asymptomatic, meaning they cause no noticeable symptoms but can still cause long-term health complications and be transmitted to others. Regular screening is important to catch and treat STDs early.
Myth 7: If You Have an STD, You’ll Know Because It Will Be Painful
Fact: While some STDs can cause discomfort, many others do not cause any pain at all. For example, chlamydia, one of the most common STDs, often causes no symptoms, which is why it’s important to have regular health check-ups.
Conclusion
Understanding the realities of sexual health is crucial for maintaining both your own health and the health of your partners. Dispelling these myths is the first step towards a healthier, more informed society.
