"The most reliable ways to avoid transmission of STDs are to abstain from sexual activity, or to be in a long-term mutually monogamous relationship with an uninfected partner"

Sounds very much like some Christian agenda bring pushed here.

50% of the population gets herpes and syphilis gets cured with antibiotics. HPV has a vaccine.

The article itself says you won't get anything if you use a condom properly.

But hey -- don't leave the house for fear of a car accident type thing...

"Sounds very much like some Christian agenda bring pushed here."

You must be kidding. You are accusing the CDC of using a scientific fact (that is pretty obvious) of "Pushing a Christian agenda"?

First of all, you are using HSV1 stats, which aren't the ones we are talking about, we are talking about Genital Herpes, which among adults affects only about 13%.

And "syphilis Gets cured with antibiotics" isnt that accurate either. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9785152/

If you have the money for antibiotics, which many don't and you catch it early enough, which some don't, then yes it can be cured. However, as that link shows there are emergent antibiotic resistant strains that can absolutely destroy your life.

As far as HPV goes there are huge sections of the population who don't have the HPV vaccine, some can't afford it even.

People can do what they want, but objectively being promiscuous is dangerous to your health. It's less a question of it, but rather when.

No no, you have it wrong, the person you're replying to is clearly just more comfortable with the topic of sex than you, and therefore we are expected to infer, better at it than you. This is the actual message of their comment, and all that are like it.
