World AIDS Day: The invisible danger of sexually transmitted diseases
It is a silent epidemic - this is how the World Health Organization describes the current number of cases of sexually transmitted infections and sexually transmitted diseases. Not unjustified: According to the Robert Koch Institute, more than half a million people in Europe are infected with a sexually transmitted disease every year, but many are initially unaware of their infection.
The invisible danger
The reason for this is the simple fact that some sexually transmitted diseases are initially asymptomatic and can therefore spread unnoticed. The Robert Koch Institute emphasizes that around 10 % of new HIV infections remain undetected for a long time.
Depending on the sexually transmitted disease, infection can lead to serious health problems such as infertility, liver cirrhosis and cancer. According to the Federal Center for Health Education, more education is needed to curb the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.
Important and right: World AIDS Day on December 1
World AIDS Day on December 1 is an excellent example of successful education. Since it was founded in 1988 by the WHO, governments, health organizations and NGOs around the world have used this day to draw attention to the problems of HIV/AIDS and show solidarity. The day promotes understanding and strengthens prevention measures. In addition to regular testing, the importance of condoms as an effective means of protection against the transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections is particularly emphasized.
Condoms can protect
The protective mechanism of condoms is as simple as it is ingenious: condoms form a barrier between the bodily fluids that can transmit sexually transmitted diseases. Whether syphilis, gonorrhea or HIV - the use of condoms significantly reduces the risk of infection. They not only protect against serious health problems, but also against the emotional stress that can accompany the diagnosis of a sexually transmitted disease.
In addition to their undeniable health benefits, condoms are extremely user-friendly. They are easily accessible, available without a doctor's prescription and do not require complicated application. In the world of contraception, condoms are the ultimate in-between solution, providing both safety and closeness.
Although condoms are the most commonly used contraceptive in Germany according to the latest data, the current usage rate is only 53%, leaving room for further increases.
Why many do not use condoms
The problem: Despite their advantages, condoms are still met with reservations in society, particularly with regard to their image as a pleasure-killer. Some men even complain about erection problems. These are usually not excuses, as several studies show that around 50% of men find that standard-sized condoms do not fit, i.e. they are too big or too small.
If they are too loose (affects around 10%), they can slip off or leak after ejaculation. If they are too tight (affects around 40%), they are difficult to unroll, cause numbness and can tear more easily. This means that a poorly fitting condom not only impairs the sensation of pleasure, but also safe protection against sexually transmitted diseases.
