THE THREAD OF WOMEN'S HEALTH

Is it true that I might have a sexually transmitted disease even without any symptoms?

It’s true. It can often happen that these infections occur asymptomatically (without disturbances or obvious signs), at least in the beginning, without causing any problems, and this partly explains the ease of contagion and its dangerous spread. Let’s give some examples: Only 1 in 20 people know they have hepatitis just as over 50-60% of HIV-infected people do not know they have contracted it because they did not get AIDS. The same applies to Chlamydia the healthy carriers are numerous, especially among men who are not aware of having it. Such people may appear healthy, but they are highly infectious, and they are not even aware of it. Unprotected sex in these cases can become very dangerous.
