The fear of getting an STI doesn’t put everyone off sex
When over 1,200 people were asked whether or not they would have sex with someone they knew had an STI, the feedback was pretty scary.
About 19% answered ‘yes’, up to a quarter said it would depend on the STI and 26% said they would have sex with someone with an STI because they believe a condom would keep them protected – oh dear.
It’s no surprise that nearly one in five of those interviewed admitted they once had an STI in their lifetime. Even more shocking, nearly half of those interviewed admitted they’ve had unprotected sex with someone who had an STI.
These figures are quite frightening, if we’re honest. There’s no reason to jump into bed with someone who has an STD – it really is a big risk on your part.
Your health is your wealth, ladies – remember that.
