What are the most common STIs in Rumia?
The most common intimate infections in Rumia include:
Hepatitis C
Chlamydia
Gonorrhoea
Syphilis
A study published in the National Library of Medicine found that reported cases of STIs in Poland showed that the infections were present but not being detected as most people were not getting tested regularly.
Better2Know makes getting tested in Rumia quick and easy for men and women. The only way to know if you have a venereal disease is to get tested.
What is the difference between a test and a screen?
An STI test is for when a patient is concerned about one infection. For example, if you have had unprotected sexual intercourse with a partner who later informs you that they have Chlamydia, you would want to get a Chlamydia test.
An STI screen is recommended by the Better2Know Rumia medical team. A screen involves checking for several different STIs simultaneously. Screens are best used when an individual has had sex with a new partner and wants to get peace of mind by having a more comprehensive look at their sexual health.
Regular STI testing and screening is an essential part of maintaining good sexual health and preventing the spread of sexually transmitted infections in Rumia.
Can I get an STI if I did not have sex?
Yes, it is possible to contract an STI without sexual intercourse. While sexual intercourse is the most common transmission method, some STIs can be contracted through non-sexual means. Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, Herpes and Syphilis are all high risk for being passed on through oral and anal sex. HIV is high risk for being passed on through anal sex.
Herpes and the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) can be spread through skin-to-skin contact. This means that any contact with a blister or sore can pass on the virus. HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C can be contracted through any blood-to-blood contact, this includes sex, sharing needles, syringes, or other drug-injection equipment, needle stick injuries, through tears in the skin, or from mother to child during childbirth.
It is vital to understand that while sexual activity increases the risk of contracting an STI, abstaining from intercourse does not completely eliminate the risk. Regular STI testing with Better2Know in Rumia is recommended regardless of your sexual activity to ensure optimal sexual health.
