What's your STD status?
from Her Intuition Movement Podcast · host Yolanda Randolph
What's your STD status? No, the question isn't to be answered for anyone else but for yourself. I had to ask myself that question as I sat in my doctor's office, worried that my ex-husband's infidelities not only hurt me mentally but physically as well. I asked myself that question but instead of wondering, I gazed fear in the face and took the STD tests. So, I encourage you today my friend... If you don't know your status, please talk with your doctor, health care institution, health department, mobile clinic, etc... So that you do know your status! YOU are Loved, YOU are Worthy, & YOU Matter! Period!! World Health Organization (WHO): *https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/sexually-transmitted-infections-(stis) Key facts More than 1 million sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are acquired every day worldwide, the majority of which are asymptomatic. Each year there are an estimated 374 million new infections with 1 of 4 curable STIs: chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis and trichomoniasis. More than 500 million people 15–49 years are estimated to have a genital infection with herpes simplex virus (HSV or herpes) (1). Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is associated with over 311 000 cervical cancer deaths each year (2). Almost 1 million pregnant women were estimated to be infected with syphilis in 2016, resulting in over 350 000 adverse birth outcomes (3). STIs have a direct impact on sexual and reproductive health through stigmatization, infertility, cancers and pregnancy complications and can increase the risk of HIV. Drug resistance is a major threat to reducing the burden of STIs worldwide. Grab your Escape!
