| Common STD Myths |
1.
Myth: Two condoms are better than one.
Using two condoms is by far less effective than using one. The build up of friction between the two latex layers can cause condoms to break.
2.
Myth: Having no symptoms means no STDs.
A lot of the main STDs are asymptomatic meaning they show no signs or symptoms. A very high percentage of the population are infected with the herpes virus yet are unaware because they show no signs or symptoms.
3.
Myth: Condoms are 100% effective against stopping STDS.
Condoms are and never will protect against all STDs 100% of the time. Herpes for example can be spread through a skin to skin contact. Condoms are a great tool in the fight against STDs.
4.
Myth: It is not possible to catch a STD from oral.
STDs including HIV, can be passed through oral sex. An STD can be transmitted through an open sore or even from pre-ejaculation.
5:
Myth: An STD infection can occur from a toilet seat or swimming pool.
STD stands for sexually transmitted disease and as the name implies is transmitted
sexually. The virus and bacteria do not thrive in an open environment and the natural defense of your skins stop the virus from entering through that method.
