RISKY SEX DOING US IN
Our country may be winning the war against HIV ,but young Indians are falling prey to STIs
What is common between UK and India ,other than a shared colonial history ?
It is the recent rise in sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among youngsters ,say sexual health experts.
In England ,the infections were spotted in young people failing to use condoms with new partners ,according to a
report by the Health Protection Agency released
around May this year .
Back home ,the Maharshtra State AIDS Control Society (MSA CS) says the total number of new reported cases of
STIs ,in the state including Mumbai ,has risen by
5,328 in just the last one year .Up from 1,34 ,395 in 2011 (men :58,022;women :76,190 )to 1,39 ,753 in 2012 (men
:50,831;women :88,665).
The numbers ,says Dr Rajan Bhonsle ,head of the department of sexual medicine at KEM Hospital ,could be higher
since government figures don't account for
patients at private clinics.
SILENT STRIKERS
What's worrying is that most patients are oblivious to the infections since symptoms can be masked .Dr I S Gilada
,president of AIDS Society of India ,says ,in the
case of herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV2 ),more than half of those affected do not show any symptoms ."Infections appear
in the form of tiny blisters that are ignored
.These can be gradually turn into ulcers ,or disappear within weeks .But this virus has the tendency to recur in a couple
of months despite lack of fresh exposure
warns ,"Gilada.
Stats for 2012 reveal the following infections as the top four in Maharshtra :
(1) chlamydia
(2) gonorrhea ,
(3) HSV2 and
(4)human paillomavirus (HPV)
PROMISCUITY TO BLAME
In the last 10 years ,the ease with which Indians have learnt to juggle multiple partners is responsible for the rise in STIs
,say dermatologists like Dr Manohar H
Sobhani ."Ironically ,while commercial sex workers are particular about using condoms ,the general populace is not
,"says Dr Sobhani .He receives more college
going girls infected with STIs now ,as compared to 10 years ago .
The other hitch is the stigma attached to STIs .Before they know it ,youngsters have transmitted the infection to their
partner .Mirror columnist and sex expert Dr
Mahinder Watsa receives several such querries from readers ,who complain about blisters and abnormal discharge
,asking for a quick fix ."Timely treatmnent from
an expert is crucial in curbing the spread of STIs ,"he says .
THE MYTHS
One of the most widespread misconception among Indians ,says Dr Bhonsle ,is
that the use of a condom will provide
protection against all STIs ."A condom can
can do only so much ,since it shields just the penis .It does not shield the scrotum
or skin around the penis ,so what if
you have a bleeding rash ?"he asks .
Oral sex ,too ,can lead to STIs including HIV.The possibilty of STIs spreading
through saliva is low among humans
,but it is possible ,say doctors."Several people
bleed every morning when brushing .The blood molecules could get locked
between the gums and cheek ,and
release during deep kissing .If the other partner also
has a cut or gash in the mouth , an STI can be easily transferred ,"says Dr
bhonsle.

What is a Pap test?
Female reproductive system
The Pap test, also called a Pap smear, checks for changes in the cells of your cervix. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus (womb) that opens into thevagina (birth canal). The Pap test can tell if you have an infection, abnormal (unhealthy) cervical cells, or cervical cancer.
Why do I need a Pap test?
A Pap test can save your life. It can find the earliest signs of cervical cancer. If caught early, the chance of curing cervical cancer is very high. Pap tests also can find infections and abnormal cervical cells that can turn into cancer cells. Treatment can prevent most cases of cervical cancer from developing.
Getting regular Pap tests is the best thing you can do to prevent cervical cancer. In fact, regular Pap tests have led to a major decline in the number of cervical cancer cases and deaths.
Do all women need Pap tests?
It is important for all women to have Pap tests, along with pelvic exams, as part of their routine health care. You need a Pap test if you are 21 years or older.
Women who have gone through menopause (when a woman's periods stop) still need regular Pap tests. Women ages 65 and older can talk to their doctor about stopping after at least 3 normal Pap tests and no abnormal results in the last 10 years.
How often do I need to get a Pap test?
It depends on your age and health history. Talk with your doctor about what is best for you. Most women can follow these guidelines:
- Starting at age 21, have a Pap test every 2 years.
- If you are 30 years old and older and have had 3 normal Pap tests for 3 years in a row, talk to your doctor about spacing out Pap tests to every 3 years.
- If you are over 65 years old, ask your doctor if you can stop having Pap tests.
Ask your doctor about more frequent testing if:
- You have a weakened immune system because of organ transplant, chemotherapy, or steroid use
- Your mother was exposed to diethylstilbestrol (DES) while pregnant
- You are HIV-positive
Women who are living with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, are at a higher risk of cervical cancer and other cervical diseases. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that all HIV-positive women get an initial Pap test, and get re-tested 6 months later. If both Pap tests are normal, then these women can get yearly Pap tests in the future.
Who does not need regular Pap tests?
The only women who do not need regular Pap tests are:
- Women over age 65 who have had 3 normal Pap tests and in a row and no abnormal test results in the last 10 years, and have been told by their doctors that they don't need to be tested anymore.
- Women who do not have a cervix and are at low risk for cervical cancer. These women should speak to their doctor before stopping regular Pap tests.
