It is a well-known fact that homosexual activity is an important contributory factor for STD and HIV. In the recent years, we started seeing more HIV and STI among homosexual individuals. When we have personal interviews with affected people, we came across the following common things: mostly educated, young men, and working men, who happened to meet their partner through social media using certain apps. They had a fair knowledge about STI, HIV and condom but acquired STI or HIV through unprotected sex. They told us, "Our urge to have sex with that particular state of mind created by social media, pushed back all our knowledge about prevention. So the following message is given in the interest of those who need that. - "Say No to Condomless Sex" - Select your partner, not on the basis of the Image shown in the App. You should know at least his original name, residence, habits etc. - Avoid Anonymous partners. - Limit your partners (one to one always is preferable) - Avoid Alcohol and Drugs during sex. - Periodic health checkup for you and your partner. - Lastly, sex is a physiological act, not a mammoth act as propagated by certain social media. - If you develop Symptoms don't Ponder! Meet a STD specialist Doctor. Dr. S.VASUKI, TRICHY
