Talking about 'sex' among us will automatically grab the attention of
any person making it more inquisitive. Everyone hesitate to talk about
sex, they take it as a bad thing not even the parents as well as the
teachers. Teachers in school doesn't provide the adequate knowledge
about 'sex' and their associated diseases to the students, and so on
the increasing age increases the desire of sex among the youngsters,
which is a normal physiological phenomenon and oneday they may get
involved in such activities called 'sex'. But talking about STD, we
know these get transferred in people during unprotected sexual
intercourse, not only the sex but the sexual activity where there is
involvement of genital secretion and as well as unscreened or poorly
screened of blood transfusion also transfer these diseases.

Age group of 18 - 25 years are the main victims of STD's. In context
of Nepal the most common is Gonorrhoea, as it is caused by the virus
it has got cure till now, but HIV AIDS is the matter of concern
because it develops slowly and sometime it may be asymptomatic and on
later stage make the person immunocompromised and favour other
infections. And now the Genital Herpes has come to contrast and is
increasing. HIV and Genital Herpes both are caused by the viruses, but
death due to HIV take years than Genital Herpes. Due to less anti
viral drug these viral infections can't get a proper cure.

People rarely visit doctor in Nepal, usually they feel shy and also
they fear of disclosing their secrecy. So most of the patient remain
out of treatment in the primitive stage of the disease and at last
when the disease get worsen they come alone or with their family.
Doctor should also be faithful and concerned about disclosing the
patient privacy.

People should be aware that most of the STD's are curable, so if they
have any genital problems they should consult the doctor soon as
possible, as there is a saying "Stitch in time, saves Nine". To stop
transmission always use a condom, do regular check up and do timely
screening of blood. So, practice safe sex and enjoy a happy life.
