Talking To Millennials About STDs

by | Care

STDs continue to be a major issue that affects young and older people and one with which you will have a difficult time discussing with your sexual partner(s). These are a few recommendations, from recent articles, regarding STDs.

  • Obtain a diagnosis and get treated immediately if you experience STD symptoms.
  • Educate yourself about the disease, when diagnosed, before you have a discussion with your partner(s).
  • Talk to your partner(s) about the disease as soon as possible.
  • Inform your past partner(s) if you think you have had the disease for some time.
  • Talk to your partner(s) by telephone if you feel you cannot have a face to face discussion.
  • Discontinue having sex until the STD is eliminated.

Be honest with your physician.

Your opinion matters.
