Update: Sexual Health in my area: Jan 2012

Around 2500 people were treated for more than 16 different Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) last year. The Genito Urinary Professional didn’t specify the population size.

She was, however, shocked by this fact – 29,000 people in Doncaster had Chlamydia last year – 10% of the total population.

So, filtering out sexually inactive, old and young, sexually faithful and celibates, I calculate that the statistic we used for the last few years was about right.

‘Promiscuity’ encounters without condoms lead to a 50/50 chance of getting an STI.’

That’s Russian Roulette with three bullets in the cylinder.

She also told of a regular client who toured the world, and would take the offer of not using a condom. She queried his nonchalance.

“We call it HIV Roulette.”
