How Does Unsafe Sex Affect One's Life?

In today’s world we seem to put aside things that we consider no longer a threat. Well we are wrong to do this, because HIV/AIDS still affects over 5.4 million people that are walking around with this infection or full blown AIDS. They are friends, Criminals, neighbors, and even children attending school, etc. So, why do we think it is ok to not worry about a problem that does not have a cure, but only a life time of meds? Within this qualitative research method, we will explore Sexual risk, there or the Measures, Sexual risk, method, demographics, HIV/AIDS risk and may add other areas as they relate to this study.

Teens end up getting sexually transmitted diseases because they are unaware of the consequences of unprotected sex. No abstinence-only program affected the incidence of unprotected vaginal sex (The Australian). Annually 3 million teenagers contract STDs from their partner (Robert Rector). Teens who have early sex not only suffer from STDs, they also have emotional and physical damage. Research shows that young people who become sexually

In a generation, where being forever young is the motto and a mindset of being invincible convinces various young adults to live a high-risk lifestyle, unsafe sex is one of the many risky and at times dangerous behaviors that young people take a part in. There are many factors that may lead to this misconstrued judgement. Either these young adults are being ill informed, simply just do not care or are not receiving proper education on the topic of sex and its many pros and cons. Each time they indulge in these risky behaviors they are dancing with the devils of (a)STD 's the most important and deadly which is HIV, (b)increasing the chances of becoming impregnated at a young age, and (c)missing out on opportunities and goals they set out for themselves previous to these unfortunate, life changing encounters. It is imperative to educate these individuals on the importance of safe sex. The education of safe sex is an imperative and crucial step in preventing the previous consequences.

Safe-sex practices should be taught in every school district and household in the world. If more people were informed on how serious this disease is and how easily one can get infected, there would be a tremendous decline in transmissions. The simplest way to prevent the spread of HIV is obviously to be abstinent, however with social reform in modern day society more and more teenagers are beginning to become sexually active. In hindsight of this inevitable change, the development of a higher educational program concerning sexual intercourse needs to be developed. Education in the fragile aspects of

STDs, also known as Sexually Transmitted Diseases, are an increasing problem among teens all over the world. As teenagers get older and become more sexually active, they are often not informed or misinformed of the dangers and consequences of STDs. Although there are many ways to prevent STDs, the only way that has is 100% guaranteed is to practice abstinence, and that proves to be very difficult for some teens. In order to protect teenagers from unwanted diseases, they must be educated about the social, emotional, and physical consequences that they would have to deal with.

Half of all new cases of STDs annually are in young men and women between the ages of fifteen and twenty four. Adolescents not only need to learn the importance of practicing safe sex, but also how to be confident. Teaching of this subject could be improved, as mentioned earlier, by beginning to teach STD prevention at an earlier age. Young people are beginning to have sex and younger ages and healthy habits are easier to establish than changing bad habits as stated in the article**. The teaching will be adjusted based on what the individual members of the group want and need to learn. Providing multiple methods of teaching strategies will result in effective leaning. We can immediately evaluate if they audience has learned the material taught during the session and if they can demonstrate skill shown, but only time and follow-up evaluations will show if the group practices STD prevention in the

The National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (2010) received reports that the predominant sexually transmissible infections during 2010 were Chlamydia and syphilis. It has been established that the 15 to 29 year age group have the highest rates of infection and this is continually increasing (Wilkins & Mak 2005). Research carried out by Stancombe Research & Planning (2008) have confirmed that people falling into this age group not only show higher rates of infection of STIs but also have limited knowledge of correct safe sex practice. These findings brought to the forefront that the awareness of STIs was extremely low, particularly amongst the younger population bringing to attention that education about the harm associated with STIs was and is crucial, along with informed structural strategies that help reduce the risks, if changing beliefs and attitudes in regards to improved sexual health are to be achieved.

Both those concepts can be achieved by educating these age groups about STIs. Perceived barriers will allow to identify barriers by assistance and reassurance. Perceived benefits will allow adolescents to understand the benefits of avoiding STIs, this can be achieved by educating them about STIs testing and use of condoms, and that will assist them to avoid serious consequences of STIs such as HIV, HPV and infertility. However, the perceived benefits are done to educate adolescent and young adults of the benefits of using condoms and avoiding multiple sexual partners, that allow them to avoid serious health complication from the STIs such as, genital cancers, infertility, and threatening infection as HIV. The last two constructs (readiness to act or cues to action, and self-efficacy), they will assist to promote plans of risk reduction the cues and low cost testing options of STIs because cues to action will promote readiness by promoting awareness and self-efficacy will provide confidence that make the person able to take

Sexually transmitted infections (STI) and unwanted pregnancies has been a health concern among young adults who engage in risky sexual behaviors for some time. These behaviors can include having multiple sex partners and not using contraception before, during, or after sexual intercourse. Although, the rate of teenage pregnancies have decreased is it still a significant number of young girls who are getting pregnant before they are married, or even out of high school. According to the CDC, Young people ages 15-24 contract almost half the nation’s 19 million new STIs every year. (2008) During this age, they start discovering their our bodies, find interest in other people around them, and become curious about participating in sexual activities without fully understanding the risk or gaining enough knowledge to keep themselves protected. Although there are more than just young people who are engaging in sexual interactions, they are the ones who lack a lot of the maturity and self-control needed make better decisions. They may know the risk they are taking when they choose not to use condoms but many still don’t belief they are at risk for diseases and unwanted pregnancies so they choose not to use any forms of contraception. When they decide to engage in risky sexual behaviors they don’t only put themselves at risk for diseases, but they also put others at risk. The use of condoms is important because it protects from a number of diseases and infections, and even an

Every male and female at a certain age has had the “sex talk” weather its with there parents, teachers or even older siblings. It’s a subject that every kid should know about and the consequences to it. The act of sex is a shared union between two people through loving feelings, which is intended for enjoyment and procreation. Negotiating safe sex is something that should be practiced if the two people are not married or cannot handle the consequences of their actions. It is an extremely important topic that young teens should know about. The consequences of not negotiating safe sex could cost an arm or a leg. The costs include the creation of a child and sexually transmitted diseases. The only prevention methods of stoppage of these two consequences are wearing of condoms, birth control for women, celibacy or surgery to make either partner sterile. The specific issues being investigated on why young teens do not want to use condoms are bizarre. There are a numbered amount of infectious diseases; sexually transmitted infection and HIV can be transmitted by both homosexual and heterosexual contact, such as vaginal intercourse, oral and anal sex. The unambiguous research question being investigated is, why are young teens not comprehending the fact that safe sex is the best sex because you will not get pregnant and it will risk your chances of getting an STD, that you could possibly live with the rest of your life? One out of 20 people in the United States will get infected

Adults and teens alike know the possible risks of sexual content, yet it is still a growing problem. Any sexual contact without proper prevention can put us at risk of an STI. This is part of the reason why that there are twenty million new cases of STIs every year. In 2015, it was discovered that teens ages thirteen to twenty four account for over twenty three percent of all HIV cases in the US. According to the CDC, half of all STI cases are from teens. Even with sharing a water bottle STIs can spread from person to person. Some STIs are incurable, while others can be cured with a doctor’s help. All people who are educated in health know the risks, and are informed on how some STIs last a lifetime. Some teens think that STIs are only now

There are several literatures discussing the importance of condoms in prevention of sexually transmitted diseases; the findings and conclusions of these studies were more or less similar especially among the young population. The youth represent the cohort with a substantial risk of acquiring sexually transmitted infection (Bull, S et al, 2012). Although the risk of acquiring such infections is common among heterosexual couples, male to male sexual behaviour has been considered as the primary risk factor for STIs, especially human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (Geibel et al, 2010). The behavior of men who have sex with men (MSM) and their sexual activities are well documented in several literatures; however, there has been little

Good health is very important to a happy and productive life. Unprotected sexual activity can lead to illness and death. Unprotected sex can lead to contracting HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) and AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). “HIV is spread mostly through four body fluids: semen, vaginal fluid, blood, and breast milk. HIV infection used to lead to AIDS; AIDS

Moreover, 93% of females can transmit the AIDS virus to males during unprotected sex. Furthermore, 94% of the combined sample recognized that the AIDS virus can be transmitted through heterosexual relations. In addition, Rodgers and Rolle state that only 32% of the sexually active combined sample ensured that they always used condoms during sex. This means that 68% of the sexually active adolescents in this survey are conducting in unprotected sex which can very well, lead to AIDS. It is evident that in this age group, these is reckless and irresponsible engagement in sexual activity which has led to the dangerous AIDS epidemic.

In addition, unprotected sex is the result of many STDS and the cause of millions of deaths. 1 in 4 sexually active teens become infected with an STD every year.
