Could You Have an STD ??

[Jacaylbaro]

looooooooooool ,,, a friend of mine told me he uses plastic bag

[Nephissa]

it ain't no laughing matter brother, it is lethal!

[raula]

hehe@plastic bag-sad but atleast they are protecting themselves. And by the way Neph..no AIDS testing is not included..althought the test itself if very minimal, and quick (RAPID testing takes simply 20mins).

 

JB good topic indeed. I have seen some of our somali gals not adhering to PAP/ANNUAL PHYSICAL(PAP/PELVIC) exam ill-advised that it will break their virginity, NOT THE CASE AT ALL. With the soaring cervical cancer rates among minorities(mostly due to lack of seeking care to begin with) its is imperative that one considers tests. Not only that, but annual physicals can predict other reproductive disorders such as endometriosis, fibroids (where it is the case in many black women, those of AFRICA included) etc. But atleast from just observations, gals seem to be intune with testing and all other womanly procedures that need to be done. Unlike men, who perhaps would FREAK OUT about physical exams in interpretation that they will be “mishandled” Hardly do our somali men go to see their doctor for preventative measures unless it is to "FIX" something in the case of the older guys....GET SOME VIAGRA OR CIALIS :rolleyes: yac!

I think if you have more then one partner you will get sexually transmitted diseases.

 

Its good to have the yearly check up included pop test for the women and is free for ppl who live in Canada.

Somalian ppl deny every thing special diseases, they wont tell if they have it and I dont know why.

Salaam Raula, I wonder what the incidence rates are for cervical cancer among minorities in the States?

 

Here in Canada, the campaigning for HPV vaccination has been massive and huge amount of health care dollars spent on prevention (there are many more areas where that money could've been effectively utilized), even though incidence rates are not staggering and death rate is ralatively small. However, immigrant groups and other minorities are as usual under-represented in screening. Still, poor policy planning on the govt's side.

 

As for general STD acquisition, if you're sexually active (Allah yahdeek), educate yourself and seek protection.

Nephy, LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL@bacda caanaha...How uncomfortable, well at least they are tying...

 

Soomaali badan baa wexey ka dhaadhacsiisan tahay inuusan Soomaalida STDs ku dhicin, because we are Soomaalis...Yea RIGHT!!! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

 

JB, adiga yaa kuusheegay inee many Somalis qabaan STDs? See ku agaatay is what I want to know?

 

I am glad I am in Canada, where health care is free...I am one of the few Somalis who take advantage of this free service...Yaa wax free ah diida...I never miss a yearly check-up...Although, STDs are very common among those with multiple partners, I would advice anyone and everyone to check themselves...Specially if it is free of charge...Why not!!!One can never be too careful aduunkaan...

 

This family I know had three kids, and after almost 10 years of marriage, the husband (allaha unaxariistee) found out he had aids maskiinka...The wife couldn't handle the news, she put him out...Although, she had every right to do so, hade Soomaali waa iska taqaanaan 'markuu jiraday bay burisay'...Yea right...Marka aduun isku haleys ma leh, check yourselves hadaad awoodaan...Horaa loo yiri 'nin aduun saaranoow maxaa aragti kuu laaban'...

Could you have an STD and not know it? Unfortunately, the answer is yes. Some sexually transmitted diseases, such as gonorrhea, have symptoms that are often confused with signs of a bladder infection, while others, such as Chlamydia, seldom have any symptoms at all.

Unfortunately, I have a problem with this sentence, not any disease, sexual in nature or not.

 

Waraa, next time, give us the source yaah, not the pamphlet the NGO aad u shaqeysid kuu soo dhiibtay, which itself copied the original from the net.

Adiga sina lagaama amaan helayo niyow ,,,,

 

 

Well, it is not about having multiple partners and that is not the only way you can get STD ,,, this is a disease where everyone and anyone can get with/without being sexually active.

 

I would encourage a yearly or periodically checkup ,,, after all, it is our health and our life.

 

The problem with our fellow Somalis is they think if they're not having a multiple partner then that is it ,, but in this world one can get any disease from something he/she never thought would be the cause.

It was only a light kaftan, abaayadiis. Qarxis ma ahayn, though our Jacbaro sometimes in la qarxiyo istaahilo. He has a tendency to copy-paste others works nooh, sometimes in hilfaha loo laabo waaye oo la caarifo.
