Sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBIs) are caused by bacteria or viruses that are transmitted during sexual contact with an infected person. STBBIs include diseases such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, genital herpes, genital warts, hepatitis B and C, and HIV-AIDS. All STBBIs are preventable and most of them can be treated.
In addition, once contracted, some STBBIs cannot be fully treated. It therefore becomes important to act as a preventive measure when starting a relationship with a new partner and to take steps to obtain a clear diagnosis since these infections can represent a serious threat for the people who are affected.
A former partner informed me of having contracted an STBBI but I have no symptoms, is it necessary to consult?
Absolutely. One of the elements that explains the omnipresence of STBBIs is that most people who contract an STBBI have no symptoms. STBBIs are difficult to detect and are not necessarily visible to the naked eye. In addition, it is often without knowing that an infected person transmits the infection to his partner. Only a screening test carried out by a doctor or a nurse can confirm the presence or absence of an STBBI.
Untreated STBBIs can lead to serious complications such as:
Infertility (inability to have a child)
Ectopic pregnancies (in the tubes)
Pain during sex
Brain damage
heart disease
Congenital malformations (complications to the baby at birth)
The development of certain cancers (liver cancer and HPV-related cancers)
The death
A Pap test is a test of cells of the cervix. The cervix is the opening between the vagina and the uterus. The Pap test looks for cells that are not normal and can cause cervical cancer.
You may receive a regular pap test if you are between the ages of 21 to 69
So, when do I need a Pap test?
That depends on your age, your medical history, and your risks.
Ages 21 to 29: Most provincial and territorial guidelines recommend that if you are at least 21 years of age and are sexually active you should have a Pap test every three years.
Ages 30 to 69: The guidelines from the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care and others say that you should have the Pap test every three years.
Age 70 or older: You do not need any more Pap tests if your three previous tests have been normal.
The best way to protect yourself against cervical cancer is to protect yourself against human papilloma virus (HPV). HPV is a sexually transmitted infection that can cause cervical cancer.
Get the HPV vaccine.
The HPV vaccine is recommended for people before becoming sexually active, usually around age 11 or 12.
If you have not been vaccinated and are sexually active, speak with your health care provider about the vaccine.
You will still need regular Pap tests because the vaccine does not protect against all types of HPV that can cause cancer.
Reduce your risk.
Use condoms. Condoms help reduce the risk of getting HPV. You are less likely to be infected and to infect partners. However, condoms do not prevent all infections.
Use spermicidal gels. They also help protect against HPV.
If you feel you are at risk for a sexually transmitted infection, you should visit your health care provider for testing and an examination.
Don’t smoke.
The risk of developing cervical cancer increases with the length of time if you smoke and the number of cigarettes smoke per day.
Take these steps to make your Pap test as accurate as possible.
Make your appointment for at least five days after your menstrual period stops.
For 48 hours before the test: Do not have sex, and do not use douches, tampons, birth control foams or gels, vaginal creams, moisturizers or lubricants, or vaginal medicines.
Ensure to bring a valid Medicare card with you (one that is not expired).
