[I don’t like hospitals.]
[They are expensive.]
[But she makes a point. One way or the other, we end up there.]
"Depending on which country you are in, the doctors will help you with the kind of testing that you can do. However, there are other tests that don’t require much, such as tests for HIV, syphilis and hepatitis B. You can even test yourself if you are afraid of others knowing too much. That’s for HIV. So, take note."
After saying so, she moved to the next phase.
"When talking about safe sex practices. The two people involved should take drastic measures to avoid any transmission. To do so, you need to protect yourself. That’s why the hospitals and other organization offer free condoms. Even if you don’t want free things, you can still buy them in the shops.
Condoms aren’t just there to prevent pregnancies, but also for this. So, for those who can’t help themselves but engage in sexual activities such as vaginal, anal or oral, don’t forget the importance of this special tool. It’s very helpful and make sure you use it properly. If you don’t know, then find someone knowledgeable to help with it. You don’t want to put your life at risk," she said, seriously thinking about how many people had succumbed to such diseases and suffered simply because they were ignorant or tried playing fools.
Although she wasn’t one who liked using condoms because of her special case, she didn’t encourage even her younger sister to do the same. In fact, she didn’t even support her sister sleeping with anyone at her age.
Once you taste the forbidden fruit, it will become hard to go back. She didn’t want her sister to be doomed at an early age. That was dangerous.
[Hehe, I didn’t that the host would be that bold. Did I just anal and oral?]
[Don’t pretend like you are a fool?]
Diamond ignored that topic. She was really afraid of leading the kids astray. She would find a way to talk about the matter without affecting the hospital. After all, it wasn’t like there was no one doing anal. She just didn’t want to let the kids’ minds run wild and be curious about what they shouldn’t.
"But we have to bear in mind that condoms aren’t the only preventive method. We can also prevent it by getting vaccines for 2 viral STIs: hepatitis B and HPV.
By taking HPV vaccines, we also reduce the risk of being affected by cervical cancer. You have to bear in mind that once an infection attacks and spreads. It affects the whole body as a result. You don’t know what kind of damage you will end up with at the end of the day. So, I hope that you take the matter seriously all the time. Otherwise, you are just going to send yourself to an early grave," she seriously advised, hoping that people will be serious with their lives and not play games.
[We will go and be tested regularly.]
[I am afraid of cancer and dying.]
[Thank goodness, I have been getting tested.]
"If you are tested and found with the STDs, don’t panic. There is a treatment. So, nothing will happen to you. For those who are infected with gonorrhea, chlamydia and syphilis (bacterial infections), as well as trichomoniasis (parasitic), you only need to be treated with antibiotics."
She went on to elaborate on these four infections. After all, it wasn’t everyone who know about them.
Once she was done, she moved to more treatments.
"For herpes and HIV, the most effective medications are antivirals that can modulate the course of the disease, though they can’t cure the disease."
She also went further to share more details regarding these two. After all, when it comes to antivirals, one might need to take the pills for the rest of their lives. It wasn’t something to be taken lightly. She wanted them to imprint that in their minds.
She went on and on about the topic. And even took the chance to dig deeper into each STI. After all, she was someone who was very dedicated, and it concerned the lives of the people she cared about. She was even more thorough.
The viewers raised questions, and she did her best to answer. For what she didn’t know, Andrea provided answers, and she relayed them. Life was easier with reliable assistants.
The broadcast went very well, and the response was good. To make the effects better, Diamond did the unexpected and got herself tested for HIV under the gaze of millions.
Although she knew that she was safe, she couldn’t help but want to give others courage. Not just courage but she heard from Andrea that there were some uneducated people causing trouble.
Since she was promoting awareness, they were trying to use the route of forcing her to reveal her status to the world. After all, she needs to be the leader.
So, before they could achieve their goal, she simply went ahead and did it, shocking the masses as well as family.
[That’s our Diamond!]
[Haha, she is very bold.]
