STD se kaise bache?

STDs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases) ya STI (Sexually Transmitted Infections) se bachna bahut zaroori hai apni health ke liye. Ye infections sexual contact se failte hain aur agar inka ilaaj na kiya jaaye toh serious health issues ho sakte hain, jaise infertility, chronic pain, ya kuch cancers. India mein har saal lagbhag 6% adults STIs se infect hote hain, jismein se zyadatar cases unsafe sexual relations ki wajah se hote hain.

Yahaan kuch important steps bataye gaye hain jinse aap STDs se bach sakte hain:

1. Condom ka Sahi Istemaal karein:

   • Har baar aur sahi tarike se: Jab bhi aap sexual activity (vaginal, anal, ya oral sex) karein, toh latex ya polyurethane condom ka istemaal zaroor karein. Condoms ek barrier ki tarah kaam karte hain aur STDs ke risk ko significantly kam karte hain.
   • Expiry date check karein: Condom ki expiry date hamesha check karein aur use sahi tarah se store karein.
   • Lubrication: Water-based ya silicone-based lubricants ka istemaal karein. Oil-based lubricants latex condoms ko damage kar sakte hain.
   • Dental Dams: Oral sex ke liye dental dam ka istemaal karna bhi protection provide karta hai.

2. Sexual Partners ki Sankhya kam rakhein:

   • Monogamous relationship: Agar aap aur aapka partner dono sirf ek doosre ke saath sexual relations rakhte hain aur dono ka STD test negative hai, toh risk bahut kam ho jaata hai.
   • Multiple partners se bachein: Jitne zyada sexual partners honge, utna hi STD hone ka risk badh jaata hai.

3. Regular Testing karwayein:

   • Khud ka aur partner ka test: Agar aap sexually active hain, toh regularly STDs ke liye test karwayein, bhale hi aapko koi symptoms na dikh rahe ho. Kai STDs mein shuru mein koi symptoms nahi hote hain.
   • Kab test karwayein: Naye partner ke saath sexual activity shuru karne se pehle, ya agar aapko lagta hai ki aap expose ho gaye hain, toh test zaroor karwayein. India mein, high-risk individuals ke liye annual screening hoti hai.
   • Kahaan test karwayein: Aap apne doctor, ya kisi sexual health clinic mein test karwa sakte hain. Government hospitals aur clinics mein bhi ye facilities available hoti hain.

4. Vaccinations lagwayein:

   • Kuch STDs ke liye vaccines available hain jo aapko infection se bacha sakte hain.
   • HPV Vaccine: Human Papillomavirus (HPV) ke liye vaccine cervical cancer aur genital warts se bachata hai. Ye vaccine typically 11-12 saal ki umar mein di jaati hai.
   • Hepatitis B Vaccine: Hepatitis B ek serious liver infection hai jo sexual contact se bhi fail sakti hai. Iske liye vaccine available hai.

5. Partner ke saath khul kar baat karein:

   • Open communication: Apne sexual partner ke saath apni sexual health aur STD history ke baare mein khul kar baat karein.
   • Testing results share karein: Ek doosre ke saath apne recent STD test results share karna trust build karta hai aur safer sexual environment banata hai.

6. Drugs aur Alcohol ka sevan kam karein:

   • Alcohol aur drugs ke influence mein risky sexual behavior karne ka chance badh jaata hai, jisse STD hone ka risk bhi badh jaata hai. Sober rehkar informed decisions lena zaroori hai.

7. Needles share na karein:

   • Drugs inject karne ke liye needles ya syringes kabhi bhi share na karein, kyuki HIV aur Hepatitis B jaise infections blood ke through bhi failte hain.

In sab precautions ko follow karke aap STDs se bach sakte hain aur apni sexual health ko maintain kar sakte hain.
