– Several different fungi may cause yeast infections but the most general one is Candida albcans. Because of this, a yeast infection is often called Candidacies. It is normal to have small amounts of yeast in the vagina; a yeast infection occur when the yeast ‘overgrows,’ taking over the vagina. Yeast infections are not sexually transmitted. Whether a woman has sex with men or women does not affect her likelihood of having a yeast infection. Yeast infections may be associated with:

• Taking antibiotics

• Taking birth control pills

• Diabetes

• Pregnancy

• Stress

• Tampon use

• Douching

• Lowered immune system

The causes of yeast infection are usually too much sugar in the body, too much starch intake, not enough water. So if a person eats a lot of sugar, a lot of starch, and not enough water, their chances of feeding these organisms in the vaginal area goes up, so do the chances of yeast infection. And of course, with everything that you feed, it grows.

What are the HIV Risks and Infection:

Mexican pharmacy valtrex – is an oral antiviral drug which is effective against the Herpes viruses.

• Oral sex – the risk of HIV being passed on through oral sex is low, but it is increased if a woman has cuts or sores in her mouth, or if the partner receiving oral sex has sores on her genitals or is having her period. Oral sex is safer if you use a ‘dental dam’ (a square of latex or cling film) to stop any vaginal fluid or menstrual blood getting into your mouth.

• Rough sex – any sexual activity that can lead to bleeding or cuts/breaks in the lining of vagina or anus is risky, including ‘fisting’ or certain S&M (sadomasochism) activities.

• Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) gives a frothy, itchy vaginal discharge and is passed on by contact with the vagina only, for example by touching or sharing sex toys.

• Syphilis is very infectious and close skin contact during sex can pass it on. Syphilis causes painless ulcers (or chancres) to appear where the bacteria entered the body. A chancre on the vagina can be almost unnoticeable.13 Read more about syphilis.

• Sharing sex toys – sharing sex toys (for example vibrators) can be risky if they have vaginal fluids (juice), blood or faeces on them. Always clean them well and have one each. This is one area of sex where sharing is a bad idea!

• Hepatitis refers to viral infections that cause inflammation of the liver. Certain forms of hepatitis can easily be passed on in sex – for example by touching or sharing sex toys. There are often no symptoms, though it can cause jaundice (yellow skin) or nausea. Read more about hepatitis.
