sti statistics

On looking at another thread, I noticed somebody had posted the below and as I'm stupid when it comes to these things, I just wondered what the stats are..

"OK and now we just need someone to post some statistics about STD'S and we have a fill house.."

What are the statistics??? What are the chances of actually catching something, figures/facts please....

Personally, I feel the chances are quite small but welcome this information to be proved wrong..

"Just spin the russian roulette wheel "

But that is a 1 in 6 chance, very rough estimate IMO

That is right, although its a good estimate as they say the house always win, not the player. So very slim chance.

honestly if you fuck ONE person with an STD and 20 without an STD then what;s the odds you'll get an STD?

it's totally random what will happen and you can't predict anything.

Yeah, a 1 in 6 chance of instant death. I hate comments like that.

Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum

The way I see it, you have to have sex to get a STI. I'm not having sex*, ergo...

* unfortunately

You can't tell by looking at someone if they have an std or rely on then being 100% honest. Protect yourself, get regular checkups and have fun!

according to most of the men in here they aren't getting any sex anyway so no chance of catching an STD either

This is where Fab rules prove to be a little bit difficult because we are not really meant to post links. But if you google UK STI Rates, the first result is a PDF from Public Health England and that has the following;

In 2014, there were approximately 440,000 diagnoses of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) made in England

The impact of STIs remains greatest in young heterosexuals under the age of 25 years and in men who have sex with men (MSM)

The most commonly diagnosed STI was chlamydia, with 206,774 diagnoses made in 2014

The largest proportional increase in diagnoses between 2013 and 2014 were reported for syphilis (33%) and gonorrhoea (19%)

During the year, over 1.6 million chlamydia tests were carried out and almost 138,000 chlamydia diagnoses were made in England among young people aged 15 to 24 years old

Twenty-nine percent of Upper Tier Local Authorities (UTLAs) achieved a chlamydia detection rate of at least 2,300 per 100,000 among 15 to 24 year olds

These are just a few of the stats that I pulled out, read the whole thing for more in-depth info. But they say a high risk group is 15-24 year olds, and in that group there is a detection rate of 2.3%, for chlamydia (most common STI), which would suggest that other age ranges are lower.

So I am going to attempt some maths with missing info and a large margin for error, but we know the population of the UK is 64.1m and 440,000 of those have an STI, thats 0.68%. So a tiny number. Obviously not all of these are of sexually active age, but even if we double it to 1.4%, that is still fairly low chance that the person you play with will have an STI.

There are a couple of other factors at play (well, loads really), but we don’t know what the transmission rates are for these STIs, it is not 100% certain that you will catch something, even if you did play with someone who does have an STI, maybe your chance of contracting is 70%, 50%, or 30%. I don’t know.

You also have to think about if swingers are more likely to have an STI, because we have a larger number of partners (some not all of course), or if, as a group, we are more aware of sexual health, and many members of the group get regular checks and this reduces the number. So I don’t know if swingers are higher risk, or lower risk, but something to consider.

Surely swingers HAVE to be at a higher risk of being infected? Even if precautions have been taken, there's the chance that at some point(or for a period) in the past precautions by one or more participants hadn't been taken(for whatever reason).

Also, checks aren't conclusive with stuff like herpes. No 'active' spotty pustule thing then no way to test? Apart from a specialist blood test maybe. Sure someone mentioned it a while ago.

Anyway. If you have sex, you put yourself at risk. Use protection and that vastly reduces the risk.

So you're more likely to catch something (at whatever rate of percentage chance, but surely that percentage chance of catching something goes up very significantly with each new partner you have)each time you have sex.

That's the bad news.

Good news is that:

probably won't kill you

probably won't hurt(for long)

you might have something already but not(or never)know

You might never get anything!

Don't have sex, or make sure you're in a monogamous relationship and you're home and dry...

Everybody have good fucking fun.

Just be..careful!

And if you ARE at all concerned, are part of the lifestyle, yet continue to do bareback then you're certifiable!

I get what you are saying, and agree with most of it, but something that is often over looked, is that you can only catch an STI from someone who has one. If you don’t have any, and you have penetrative sex without protection with 10, 100, or even 1,000 other people, who also don’t have anything, you can’t catch anything.

True.

But the randomness surely narrows massively with the more people you have sex with?

To the extent that you will change from not being randomly lucky never to catch anything(or for a long period of blessed grace)to progressively more LIKELY to eventually get something(s)?

Well, you'd almost definitely get at STD and probably share it with most, if not all, of the other 20.

Use a fucking condom and minimise your risks. Nothing is 100 % but it is a fact that you are more at risk of catching something without a condom than with one.

Personally I HATE using them, but I still do as I hate the idea of dieing a lot more...

Crap analogy, but you have a minimal chance of getting run over when you cross the road. But the more times you do it, that chance goes up.

And if you go across a road which is always busy with lots of traffic...

AND if you decide to do it 'blind' and with your fingers in your ears...

You are not progressively more likely because there is no connection between the events, or that one person will that you sleep with will definitely have an STI.

If there is a sports car behind one of 3 doors, and you have to pick, you have a 1 in 3 chance of picking it, if you open the first door and its empty. You then pick another door and have a 50/50 chance, if thats empty, and you pick the last door, you now have a 100% chance of finding the car. But sexual partners are not like this, they are more like rolling a dice, if you roll a one, then a two then a 3, there is not an increased change of rolling a 4, the dice has no memory, and so its still a 1 in 6 chance. The previous rolls have no impact on the next roll. So just because you slept with 10 clean people, that doesn’t mean that automatically the 11th person will have an STI does it?

he was asking what's the chances of catching something. i was saying it's random. if you fuck 20 ppl without and STD then your chance is 0, but that one person with one the chance is 100%.
