STIS CAUSED BY SEX UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS

Drugs such as alcohol, ecstasy, cocaine, GHB and even ketamine can increase lust. Drugs can make you horny, and in addition, drugs can blur boundaries. You become freer, more uninhibited and completely surrender to the moment. This sounds like a unique experience, a fantastic evening. What goes along with this is that your risk assessment of "danger" disappears under the influence of drugs. Your critical eye and steadfast attitude about your limits blur and so it may lead to unprotected sex. So you are at greater risk of STIs when you use drugs.

STIS FROM DRUG PARAPHERNALIA

Most STDs are transmitted through semen, blood, vaginal contact and contact between mucous membranes. But what we must not forget is that STDs such as HIV, hepatitis B or syphilis can also be transmitted by sharing syringes, needles and other drug paraphernalia. To minimize this risk, it is important at parties where these attributes are used to ensure that everyone has their own attributes. That clean needles are used every time!
