Monday, April 11th, 2011

Sexually transmitted infections include all possible infections transmitted through genital to genital contact, oral to genital contact and genital to anal contact. Most of the infections are curable except viral infections namely herpes virus (HSV1 and 2) human papilloma virus (HPV) hepatitis B and HIV. Probably the following details from CDC USA might be useful to you:

 

1. Viral infections, such as human papilloma virus (HPV), genital herpes, Hepatitis B, and HIV are incurable.
2. HPV is the most commonly diagnosed sexually transmitted infection.
3. There are over 100 types of HPV viruses, and of them, 30 can be passed on sexually.
4. HPV can cause warts in or around the genitals, but many people with HPV never experience any symptoms at all.
5. There are about 13 different strains of HPV that may cause cervical cancer.
6. Genital herpes is caused by the herpes simplex viruses type 1 (HSV-1) or type 2 (HSV-2). Most genital herpes is caused by HSV-2 and is more common in women (1 out of 4) than in men (1 out of 8).
7. Genital herpes can be spread with or without the presence of symptoms. The first symptoms of genital herpes usually occur 2 weeks after transmission of the virus.
8. Tingling or burning in the legs and painful blisters in the genital area are symptoms of genital herpes.
9. Hepatitis B (HBV) is much more contagious than human immunodeficiency virus HIV.
10. HBV can survive outside the body for no more than 24 hours.

What is the Islam view on husband suspecting his wife about her past integrity?

Friday, March 26th, 2010

Question :
What is the Islam view on husband suspecting his wife about her past integrity, because she is tested hepatitis b positive and what he should do about the issue? Thanks.

 

Answer:
It is sad when ones wife is infected with Hepatitis B. In that case her blood will also confirm that she is a carrier, unless she has been vaccinated from young and has Hepatitis B antibodies!
After having married her through thick and thin and now harboring doubts about her past integrity is even sadder. The doubtful Thomas need to read more about the transmission of Hepatitis B before he makes any conclusion. The passage below was taken from WIKIPEDIA and the source is very reliable. Please view the passage and take a look at the sentence highlighted.

 

Transmission of Hepatitis B

 

Transmission of hepatitis B virus results from exposure to infectious blood or body fluids containing blood. Possible forms of transmission include (but are not limited to) unprotected sexual contact, blood transfusions, re-use of contaminated needles & syringes, and vertical transmission from mother to child during childbirth. Without intervention, a mother who is positive for HBsAg confers a 20% risk of passing the infection to her offspring at the time of birth. This risk is as high as 90% if the mother is also positive for HBeAg. HBV can be transmitted between family members within households, possibly by contact of nonintact skin or mucous membrane with secretions or saliva containing HBV. However, at least 30% of reported hepatitis B among adults cannot be associated with an identifiable risk factor.

Can I get any diseases from it even if my partner does not have any STDs?

Monday, November 17th, 2008

Question:
I’ve just started experimenting on oral sex. I’m just curious if there would be any harm of swallowing instead of spitting. Can I get any diseases from it even if my partner does not have any STDs?

 

Answer:
So you are adventurous, good for you and your lucky partner. Be extra careful not to bite him. Your bite might be more harmful compared to swallowing his semen. You might enjoy a gourmet dish with the dash of salt and nothing else if his semen is microbes free.
