As most people on here are scared of catching one, I'm trying to find some sort of statistics on the amount of people who have had one and whether it was easy to correct with medication...
So, I'm holding my hands up to having chlamydia, warts and herpes.... And still living... Hopefully others will come forward and not get judged!! |

With respect , if you want an idea on stats best of using Google. I really cannot see swingers on a swinging site coming forward on this topic. Some would perceive it as site suicide.

"Are you saying you have all of the above, and want advice on treatment ?"
I've had the above and believe it or not, i'm a figure of good heath... Recovered well!
I just get annoyed when people say it's Russian roulette but it's not as life threatening as they think... We are not in Africa or Thailand...

Many years ago I was given an infection by my then wife. I had no idea she had been doing anything.
Never had anything from swinging over the 30 years since. |

I knew a woman whose husband had an entire second family that she knew nothing about. He travelled a lot for work so she didn't put two and two together. She found out when she got herpes from him. Tore their marriage apart... 2 children... interesting what you can find out from an STI. |

"It's an important topic, and one that should be discussed openly.
Thousands of people die from 'flu. No-one died from herpes last year and yet it carries a stigma."
A stigma? Is that what gives it that funny taste? |

Damn good idea, the level of ignorance displayed on this site at times is astonishing and rather scary.
I've never had anything either and want to keep it that way. |

My very 1st visit to the GUM was after finding my husband had cheated on me. Luckily I was clear. And I intend to stay that way.
I have 2 children who need me therefore I will not take any risk with my sexual health. Especially when my eldest will be 16 next year & off doing god only knows what - I can't be drilling into him the importance of condoms & not using them myself.
Although you can still catch some STIs such as genital warts when using condoms because the pubic area is not completely protected |

I suspect (Mrs PK here) there are a lot more people here who have had an STI but are just scared to admit it. Such a stigma attached! We both play safe but are also aware that it means nothing as you are as likely to get an STI orally and how many people use protection for that. I find the swinging community in general are much more careful and get checked up too. We are both aware of the risks. And yes some years ago I have had an STI and nothing that a course of antibiotics couldn't sort out  I see it as no different to getting a cold or a chest infection etc! It happens! Most STI's won't give you symptoms which is why it is important to have regular checks. Clearly warts and herpes will give you symptoms who can miss a wart or a coldsore, but as they can be seen you don't need a checkup to tell you to get it sorted it's kind of obvious! The most important thing I think is communication if you do notice something irregular and you get checked and have an STI then communicate it to all the people you have played with so they can get themselves checked. |

As hubby had the snip many years ago and for health reasons I can't take the pill, we use condoms when swinging with others as it also protects against pregnancy. To be honest, I much prefer a face full of spunk than a condom in me. |

Fair play to all of you that have been honest about having had an infection. I think if we picked anything up we would stop meeting until given the all clear. I'm sure you have all done the same. |

That's about as logical as saying "go bareback a stranger and if they don't get sick after then you haven't got anything" |

Good grief! 
Yes to a weekly sexual health information thread.
Do not follow this advice above! Go to the GUM clinic. |

You have had all of the above infections or you still have all of the above infections ?
And your asking whether or not there easy to correct with medications !
The mind boggles. |

Judging by most of the comments on here, it's showing that most have never had a STI...
So looks like I'm correct, swingers tend to make out the chances of catching an STI are higher than they actually are!!
Again i'll reiterate, even if you was to get a dose, they are easily treated... |

Agreed my ex of ten years put me at risk when he knew someone he was barebacking was at risk of chlamydia which I hate him with a passion for - even more for the fact he didn't tell me he was even fucking others!
You never truly know anything so play safe or get tested - or better still do both!  |

Then why are you asking in the original post whether or not these infections are easily treated .
And if you have all three of the said mentioned infections why havnt you had them treated, and should you be looking to meet anyone before getting yourself cleared up . |

Herpes and warts never leave your system , and can flare up at any time, so you still have them......... And both of these can be transmitted even with use of a condom! |

My ex was fucking anything and everything behind my back when I had cancer he caught something. Never did find out what it was and I was tested for everything and given a broad range anti biotic to be on the safe side. However my tests came back clear.
One of the many reasons he's an ex. |

And you can also carry the HPV virus that causes warts without actually having warts, and it doesn't show on the tests from the gum clinic, so any one of us could have it and be oblivious  |

The strains that cause cancer don't cause warts and vice versa, the strains that cause cancer also cause throat cancer if you have unprotected oral sex! |

And not all health authorities test for HPV on smears, or at least they didn't, hopefully they do now |

"I thought herpes never truly went away ?"
It doesn't - and statistically 70 of all sexually active adults have it whether it's inactive or active - or whether they're 'shredders' (the many people who pass it on without showing symptoms themselves!) or not!
So pointless getting snobby about std's - most of us have one right now!
Also - many std's - if picked up in time - are far less dangerous than common diseases like flu - they just carry a much greater stigma! |

"Cards on the table, the worst thing I ever had 'down there' was crabs 35 years ago!!
Little fuckers, had to completely shave!! "
That's what's so good about the trend for very well trimmed or hairless bits!
If some get their way (Howard - I'm pointing at you! ) and most of us grow our public hairs back - then there'll be an upsurge in crabs! Simple! X |

I tested positive for the HPV virus & from what I was told it isn't necessarily an STI, Once a woman is sexually active, this also can become active if a carrier. They are now vaccinating young girls of an age where they, (in therory), are not sexually active. My eldest had hers about a year ago. |

I've never had one - but 've seen plenty of examples in clubs, and even in the photos posted on Fabs - but then again I'm professionally interested so know what to look for. Amazing that some people post photos unaware that they're displaying clear symptoms.... |

If that is true then how come when I go to the gum, as well as taking my blood I also do three swabs?
They could just test my blood for everything and I wouldn't need the swabs? |

When I was young and stupid I had lots of unprotected sex..never caught anything out of sheer luck. However, an ex who I was still sleeping with was also sleeping with others and I caught chlamydia from him was treated easily enough with antibiotics.
Genital warts and genial herpes can lie dormant for years and only when there is a flare up are they contagious or so I understand.
And how on earth do you see someone has an sti from a picture?! Most people don't have symptoms! |

I am sure there are plenty of people who are blocking everyone that answers on this post lol. BUT the thing is so many people have NEVER been tested and because they pos use a condom, they think they are safe from everything! A lady on here WE know thought that (played WITHOUT her husband knowing). We persuaded her to go get tested. She had chlamydia. So did her partner!
Took some explaining! lol |

How many people as teenagers had coldsores on their mouths, I know I had a bout of them for about 18 months as a teen and none since! Yet I still see people my age now with coldsores on their mouths! I never look at them and think they must be dirty or not careful with themselves. The very fact if you had coldsores at some point on your mouth means you have the herpes virus in your system. Mine clearly has been dormant ever since others are not so lucky. In my head there is no difference, herpes on the mouth or down below, it's just a coldsore and can be treated . Same with warts, I see people with warts on their hands, I don't look and think Eugh!!
Of course no one wants to get infections, and we are all as careful as we can be, I guess my point is, it's not the end of the world if you do, just get yourself checked regularly

Assuming she didn't feel the need to wear protection with her husband, it sounds like she caught it from him! |

You're not factoring in how many of the above are actually being honest (not that I'm outright calling everyone a liar but you get my point)
Worst I've had is thrush (which though can be transferred sexually it isn't an STI) I only ever had it in my pregnancies the hormonal imbalance threw off my yeast levels and it would constantly flare up every few weeks |

Depends a lot won't use conforms for oral, chlamydia can be caught and transferred orally as well as penetrative. She God down on the person that has it catches it then goes down on her hubby and bingo she's infected him |
