School Break!

Posted on November 19th, 2006 in Fidelity, Welcome - News - The 411 by askglory

Yes, that’s right. My school’s Thanksgiving break has started early due to all three of my classes generously deciding to not count roll. :D This does mean that I will have alllllllllll that time to work on my end of term projects so that is what I have been doing and will be doing all week. There will be no Thursday issue of The Printz but what shall I write about for next week? From what I’ve heard many college students go back to their home towns for the holiday breaks and end up hooking up with old high school flames and crushes. Inevitably that means a few unplanned pregnancies and too many shared STDs. I’m confused by this sudden drop in good judgment. Maybe I should write about that.

STD from a one night stand?

Posted on September 19th, 2006 in Fidelity, STDs/STIs by askglory
How do you know if the girl you had a one night stand with has an STD? Should I tell my girlfriend It burns when I pee now, or will she thank I’ve been cheating on her?

Pete, there are so many red flags flying I’m not even sure where to start so I’m just going to jump in. First, get thee to a doctor or health department pronto! Be completely honest about your symptoms and your one night stand. If they prescribe medicine take the whole round but also mention your girlfriend to the doctor or nurse practitioner who will then tell you to bring her in or give you a prescription for her, too. Then you’ve got to take the plunge and tell your girlfriend why she’s going to have to take some pills or go to the clinic, too. Everyone has a right to know if they have been exposed to an STD. Women are particularly vulnerable to sexually transmitted infections because our genitals were designed to “receive”, normally sperm but bacteria, yeast and viruses take advantage of the design. Women are much more likely to contract an infection through their genitals then men after similar exposures and more likely to suffer permanent infertility if the infection is left untreated.
