When is it LIKELY that you have an STD? when you're linked to 5 people sexually? 20? 50? 100? etc...How many sex partners do you think the average infected person have?Hi!



It's important to remember that despite popular concerns about STDs, there is much more to human sexuality that the spread of diseases.



Every study I鈥檝e examined has shown a positive correlation between STD transmission and increased sexual activity. However, it鈥檚 not just a numbers game. Here are other factors that can help reduce your health risk:



* be informed on human sexuality



* consistently use safer sex practices, such as a condom.

* because STDs are often asymptomatic, protect your partners by getting yourself tested for STDs.

* ask that your sexual partners get themselves tested for STDs.







Unfortunately, there is no such thing as safe sex. However, you can have safer sex. It is up to each individual to make their own well-informed assessment of the risks that they are comfortable with. If neither you nor your sexual partner(s) have an STD, you will not create one on your own out of thin air.



If you are interested in actual statistics, here is a study:

It doesn't matter how many sexual partners a person has. I've met people that have gotten an std the very first time they had sex. It is estimated that 1 out 5 people have an std. That is if there was a room w/ ten people 2 people have the disease. It is quite common. It is also said that there are actually more infections than what the statistics calculate because infections occur by the thousands every minute, and that most people that are infected or become infected do not show any signs or symptoms .How many sex partners do you think the average infected person have?Contrary to what someone posted, 1 in 5 people in the US is infected with genital herpes--1 in 4 in some cities.



You're playing a losing numbers game. It only takes one infected person in the entire pool to infect all the rest of the pool. For many people, they were infected at their very first sexual experience. AND, there are many "technical virgins" who have STDs and are happily passing it along to other "technical virgins."
