SEX-RELATED DISEASES: HEPATITIS B AND SCABIES (THE ITCH)
Let us now look at the sexually transmitted diseases in turn. But before doing so let us consider vaginal discharges because they can cause such confusion and worry.
This is a viral disease which, it is strongly suggested, can be transmitted via saliva, semen, menstrual flow and other body fluids. To this extent it can probably be transmitted sexually. Homosexuals are more likely to be affected than heterosexuals and the disease is important because it can cause chronic damage to the liver. Having said this, the majority of infections are symptomless and self-limiting. Unlike with other types of venereal disease there is no way of detecting carriers of the disease nor is there any way one could suspect a potential partner of having it. A vaccine is now available against the disease.
Scabies (the itch)-This is an infestation with tiny mites which usually cause itching, often in the webs of the fingers, around the waist, on the wrists and under the armpits. Tell your doctor or special clinic – treatment is simple and effective.
