Here’s why HIV should be your utmost concern if you’re into the hookup culture – those who carry the virus, do not know they have it, allowing them to continue spreading the virus unknowingly. You feel healthy? Good, but so does someone with HIV for the first 5 to 10 years of infection. HIV can stay in your body and not do anything for years and because of this, you do not have any symptoms or signs associated with HIV or AIDS. This is how HIV has been spreading, it’s easy to think that you are clean and healthy if you don’t have any signs or symptoms – leading to people unwarily engage in sexual intercourse with them. Even if you were to get tested before you decided to get physical, you’re going to have to wait a little bit. The rate of antibody produced towards fighting HIV varies according to people and that is why it takes around 28 days for 95% of people with HIV to be tested positive while some take longer than that and require a second confirmation test, 3 months after supposed exposure. The thought of even acquiring HIV should be a massive deterrent already because it will and has killed a lot of us by making our immune system severely weak and we simply don’t have any cure for it, only treatment to moderate the progression of the disease as well as to prevent its potential spread.
“But I use condom” – Using a condom can protect you from getting or spreading HIV provided that you only have vaginal sex (I mean, who uses condom during oral sex?) and that you use the condom correctly. If you switch between vaginal and oral sex in one session, having sores or ulcers on either the mouth or the genitals serves as an opening that can allow for the infection to get into the body. Not knowing how to use condom; i.e., only putting it on before ejaculation, may not be that effective to prevent the spread of HIV, as presence of ulcers around the genitalia can acquire or transmit the virus from or to your partner(s).
Oral and Genital Herpes
Here’s the thing about Herpes – there’s no cure for it and once you have it, it stays with you for the rest of your life. Once you have herpes, you will occasionally experience period of viral reactivation or outbreak, manifested as a single or clustered vesicles on the genitals, perineum, buttocks, upper thighs, or perianal areas that ulcerate before resolving. Since there is no cure, current treatment helps to ease symptoms of reactivation and reduce the risk of infecting others.
