The majority of people who’ve been infected with HSV never know they have the disease because they have no signs or symptoms. The signs and symptoms of HSV can be so mild they go unnoticed. The first outbreak is generally the worst, and some people never experience a second outbreak. Other people, however, can experience outbreaks as long as 40 years after the initial outbreak.
When present, genital herpes symptoms may include:
Small, red bumps, blisters (vesicles) or open sores (ulcers) in the genital, anal and nearby areas
Pain or itching around your genital area, buttocks or inner thighs
The initial symptom of genital herpes usually is pain or itching, beginning within a few weeks after exposure to an infected sexual partner. After several days, small, red bumps may appear. They then rupture, becoming ulcers that ooze or bleed. Eventually, scabs form and the ulcers heal.
In women, sores can erupt in the vaginal area, external genitals, buttocks, anus or cervix. In men, sores can appear on the penis, scrotum, buttocks, anus or thighs or inside the urethra, the channel between the bladder and the penis.
While you have ulcers, it may be painful to urinate. You may also experience pain and tenderness in your genital area until the infection clears. During an initial outbreak, you may have flu-like signs and symptoms, such as headache, muscle aches and fever, as well as swollen lymph nodes in your groin.
Recurrences
Genital herpes is different for each person. The signs and symptoms may recur for years. Some people experience numerous episodes each year. For many people, however, the outbreaks are less frequent as time passes. Various factors may trigger outbreaks, including:
Stress
Menstruation
Immune system suppression, from medications such as steroids or chemotherapy, or due to infections, such as HIV/AIDS
Illness
Surgery
Friction, such as that caused by vigorous sexual intercourse
Syphilis develops in four stages, and symptoms vary with each stage. But the stages may overlap, and symptoms don’t always occur in the same order. You may be infected with syphilis and not notice any symptoms for years. If you have HIV infection at the same time, the symptoms of syphilis may be somewhat different than without HIV infection.
Primary syphilis
These signs may occur from 10 days to three months after exposure:
A small, firm, painless sore (chancre, pronounced “SHANG-ker”) on the part of your body where the bacteria entered, usually your genitals, rectum, tongue or lips. A single chancre is typical, but you may have multiple sores.
Enlarged lymph nodes in your groin.
The sore will heal without treatment, but the syphilis infection remains. In some people, syphilis then moves to the secondary stage.
Secondary syphilis
The signs and symptoms of secondary syphilis begin two to 10 weeks after the chancre appears and may include:
Skin rash, often appearing as rough, red or reddish-brown, penny-sized sores, over any area of your body, including your palms and soles
Fever
Fatigue and a vague feeling of discomfort
Soreness and aching
Swollen lymph glands
Sore throat
Wart-like sores in the mouth or genital area
These signs and symptoms may disappear within a few weeks or repeatedly come and go for as long as a year.
Latent syphilis
If you aren’t treated for syphilis, the disease moves from the secondary to the latent (hidden) stage, when you have no symptoms. The latent stage can last for years. Signs and symptoms may never return, or the disease may progress to the tertiary (third) stage.
Tertiary or late syphilis
About 15 to 30 percent of people infected with syphilis who don’t get treatment will develop complications known as tertiary, or late, syphilis. In the late stages, the disease may damage your brain, nerves, eyes, heart, blood vessels, liver, bones and joints. These problems may occur many years after the original infection.
Some of the signs and symptoms of late syphilis include:
Jerky or uncoordinated muscle movements
Paralysis
Numbness
Gradual blindness
Dementia
Congenital syphilis
If you’re pregnant, you may pass syphilis to your unborn baby. Blood containing the bacteria reaches the fetus through the placenta, the organ that nourishes the developing baby. This is known as congenital syphilis.
Most infants born with syphilis have no symptoms of the disease. Almost all develop symptoms by 3 months of age, though some children with congenital syphilis show no signs of the disease until after age 2.
Early signs and symptoms, which occur before the age of two, may include:
“Snuffles” (runny nose)
Skin sores
Rashes
Fever
Jaundice - yellow skin
Infection of the umbilical cord
Anemia
Swollen liver and spleen
If not treated right away, the baby may experience serious problems, including:
Deformities
Tooth abnormalities
Deafness
Developmental delays
Seizures
Death
When to see a doctor
Visit your doctor if:
You have a sore in your genital area, enlarged lymph nodes in your groin area, a widespread rash or any other symptoms that might indicate syphilis.
Your sexual behaviors put you at risk for sexually transmitted diseases. You should be tested periodically for syphilis.
You’ve been treated for another sexually transmitted disease, such as gonorrhea or HIV infection. You should be tested to make sure you don’t also have syphilis.
Chlamydia may be difficult to detect because early-stage infections often cause few or no signs and symptoms that might alert you to see your doctor. When signs or symptoms do occur, they usually start one to three weeks after you’ve been exposed to chlamydia. Even when signs and symptoms do occur, they’re often mild and passing, making them easy to overlook.
Signs and symptoms of chlamydia infection may include:
Condoms can be used as protection against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
Pregnancy prevention. Use a condom and spermicide to prevent pregnancy. Make sure to check the condom’s expiration date, and do not use it if past that date.
STD protection. To protect yourself and your partner from STD infection, use a condom during vaginal, oral, or anal sex. Even if you are protected against pregnancy by other birth control methods, condoms are your only protection against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). (The only way to be completely protected against sexually transmitted diseases, however, is to abstain from sex.)
A rubber barrier (dental dam) can be used for protection during oral sex.
Proper condom use
Condoms are most effective if you follow these steps.
Use a new condom each time you have sexual intercourse.
When opening the condom wrapper, be careful not to poke a hole in the condom with your fingernails, teeth, or other sharp objects.
Put the condom on as soon as your penis is hard (erect) and before any sexual contact with your partner.
Before putting it on, hold the tip of the condom and squeeze out the air to leave room for the semen after ejaculation.
If you are not circumcised, pull down the loose skin from the head of the penis (foreskin) before putting on the condom.
While continuing to hold onto the tip of the condom, unroll it all the way down to the base of your penis.
If you are also using the condom as birth control, make sure your partner uses a spermicide according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
If you want to use a lubricant, never use petroleum jelly (such as Vaseline), grease, hand lotion, baby oil, or anything with oil in it (read the label). Oil (or petroleum) can weaken the condom, increasing the chance that it may break. Instead, use a personal lubricant such as Astroglide or K-Y Jelly.
After ejaculation, hold onto the condom at the base of your penis and withdraw from your partner while your penis is still erect. This will keep semen from spilling out of the condom.
Wash your hands after handling a used condom.
Buying and storing condoms
Buy latex condoms sold in the United States. These condoms meet strict safety standards and are less likely to break or leak.
Condoms are made of latex (rubber), polyurethane, or sheep intestine. While latex and polyurethane condoms help prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) such as HIV, sheep intestine condoms do not.
Keep the condom wrapped in its original package until you are ready to use it. Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Check the expiration date on the package before using.
Don’t keep rubber (latex) condoms in a glove compartment or other hot places for a long time. Heat weakens latex and increases the chance that the condom will break.
Don’t use condoms in damaged packages or condoms that show obvious signs of deterioration, such as brittleness, stickiness, or discoloration, regardless of their expiration date.
Female condoms
The female condom is a tube of soft plastic (polyurethane) with a closed end. Each end has a ring or rim. The ring at the closed end is inserted deep into the vagina over the cervix, like a diaphragm, to hold the tube in place. The ring at the open end remains outside the opening of the vagina. The female condom can be inserted up to 8 hours before sexual intercourse. It is not used with spermicide. It should not be used at the same time as a male condom.
The female condom should be removed immediately after intercourse, while the woman is still lying down. The outside ring is twisted to close off the condom and hold the semen inside before the condom is removed. A new condom should be used with each act of sexual intercourse. Female condoms are sold in drugstores or family planning clinics.
The female condom provides some protection of the genital area around the opening to the vagina during intercourse and may reduce the risk of getting or transmitting diseases such as genital herpes or genital warts.
Durex Condom ad stirs controversy. Below is the ad for Durex Condoms that is causing such an uproar among sex educators and the general Conservative Right Wing. We find this ad to be hysterical and whoever the ad agency is that actually made this ad is genius. It’s funny, it’s been well publicized, and it’s controversial. Which means its been all over the news and hugely popular on the second largest search engine in the world ( YouTube.com ) .
Anyone that finds it disturbing is not having sex anyways and will never need to use a condom for safer sex so as far as we are concerned, worry about something that actually maters and not trying to push your religious right wing BullS$%^it.
We apploud Durex for this creative and funny masterpiece and hope it only helps Durex gather even more marketshare.
Q. My wife is allergic to Latex Condoms and also is Allergic to the lubricant in Condoms. Is there such thing as a Non Latex Condom with no lubricant?
A. This is a pretty common concern for many people that experience irritation when using condoms. The problem however is not as cut and dry as it may seem. First off I would like to know whether your wife has a Diagnosis from a Health Care provider of being allergic to latex. Usually the answer is no and the diagnosis was self diagnosis from Web MD or another source that shows “Latex Allergy” as a possible condition based on a symptom of the irritation.
Back about 5 years or so a new condom came across my desk called a Trojan Supra Condom. It was a non latex condom designed for those allergic to latex. The product was seriously flawed however. More on that below. Many people that experience irritation from latex condoms are not actually allergic to latex. They are actually allergic to the Lubricant on the condom, primarily Non-Oxynol-9 Spermicide. NonOxynol-9 (or more commonly called Non-9 or simply Spermicide ) is a powerful detergent that in the realm of condoms is falsely believed to kill sperm on contact making conception less likely.
For the purpose of this question I will not go into details on that here but much more information is available at http://www.condomdepot.com/non9/.
Spermicide has been shown to cause micro fissures inside the Vagina and/or Anal Cavity. These “Micro Tears” mimic the symptoms of a Latex Allergy by damaging these sensitive areas.
When Trojan came out with its condom for those Allergic to latex, they included this poisonous lubricant on the condom. The Trojan Supra came in one model only. Lubricated with Spermicide. This caused many people to forgo using condoms entirely because those with an actual latex allergy started experiencing irritation and those who thought they were allergic to latex also had this irritation.
So getting to the answer to your question, First I would like to know what type of condom you experienced your problems with. Does the wrapper say Spermicide or NonOxynol-9? If it does I would suggest trying a condom with a less toxic lubricant. A good choice would be a Beyond Seven Aloe or Kimono Micro Thin Ultra Lubricated or any other condom without Spermicide.
If your wife is actually allergic to latex per a Doctors Diagnosis, I would recommend a Non Latex condom not lubricated with Spermicide such as a Lifestyles Skyn, a new Trojan Supra without Spermicide or Naturalamb*.
To specifically answer your question, the only Non Latex, Non Lubricated form of birth control is the FC Female Condom. It is Polyurethane (Non Latex) and contains no lubrication.
Please note: CondomDepot.Com does not sell any condoms that contain Spermicide.
*Naturalamb only offers protection against unwanted pregnancy. It does not protect against STDs or HIV. Answer Provided by John Fidi Founder of CondomDepot.com

TUESDAY, Nov. 11 (HealthDay News) — Six out of every 10 middle-aged Britons do not use a condom during a first-time sexual encounter, a new study shows.
Those numbers might be similar for Americans, one expert said. “Data in the U.S. are likely comparable and, given prevailing policies with regard to contraception, may be worse,” said Dr. David L. Katz, director of the Prevention Research Center at Yale University School of Medicine in New Haven, Conn.
In fact, U.S. rates of all STDs, including HIV, have been increasing with an estimated 19 million new cases each year and more than 1 million people living with HIV. Almost half of the new cases of STDs are among people 15 to 24, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

But older adults are at risk, too. “Often it’s assumed that sexually transmitted infections are just increasing among young people, but U.K. surveillance data shows that sexually transmitted infection diagnosis rates are on the increase among all age groups in the U.K.,” said Catherine Mercer, the study’s lead researcher and a lecturer at the Centre for Sexual Health & HIV Research at University College London.
Most Britons engaging in unprotected sex are in their 30s and 40s and in relationships where there is an age difference of five or more years, according to the report, which was published in the Nov. 12 online edition of the International Journal of Epidemiology.
“Low rates of condom use among those starting partnerships in their 30s and 40s means that they too are at great risk of sexual infections,” Mercer said.
For the study, Mercer’s group collected data on more than 11,000 men and women who participated in the second British National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles. The survey included questions on recent partnerships, condom use and how soon after meeting they had sex.
Among all the people surveyed, almost 9,600 reported having heterosexual sexual partners in the past 12 months. More men (39.1 percent) than women (20 percent) said that these relationships were “not regular,” the researchers reported.
More women (55.2 percent) than men (38.9 percent) said their partnerships were marriages, or involved living together with the partner. Men reported having sex sooner after a first date than women. One in five men said they had sex within 24 hours after meeting their partner compared with one in 10 women.
Over all age groups, condoms were used by 55.3 percent of the partners during their first sexual encounter. However, the rate of condom use declined with advancing age. For example, among 16- to 19-year-olds, 68 percent of males and 67.4 percent of females used a condom during a first sexual encounter, while among 35- to 44-year-olds only 38.1 percent of men and 28.8 percent of women used a condom.
In addition, in relationships where there was an age difference of five years or more, 60.8 percent were unlikely to use a condom during a first sexual encounter, compared with 44.1 percent of partners who were closer in age.
According to Mercer, rates of STDs are increasing in the U.K. In fact, the Health Protection Agency found a 6 percent increase in the number of new STDs in 2007 compared with 2006.
Additional research found that in one area of England, the rate of STDs more than doubled between 1996 and 2003.
“Everyone starting a new sexual relationship, regardless of age, should use condoms and continue to do so, until they and their partner have both been tested for sexually transmitted infections,” Mercer said.
People ignore condoms at their peril, Katz added.
“Consistent use of condoms is the most reliable way of preventing HIV transmission next to abstinence, and is effective in preventing other transmissible diseases and unintended pregnancy as well,” Katz said.
The lack of condom use by mature adults in the British study is noteworthy and disturbing, Katz said. “These are likely people who know about condoms and can get them. There is clearly a need to better educate men and women about the hazards of unprotected sex, and the advantages of condom use. Easy access to condoms should be a priority as well,” he said.
7 Reasons Why Condoms Suck, But Why Getting an STD Is Worse
Fans of shock jock Howard Stern know that he likes using condoms, but that’s not too surprising given his oft-reported small size and easily aroused, hornball reputation. But for many of the rest of us, condoms can be a real hassle, an inconvenience, or even a barrier to a fulfilling night. Why?
nyc condom
1. One Size Does Not Fit All.
It’s hard to get a good fit. For those of us who don’t quite have any business buying Magnums or Pee Wees, it’s tough to find something that fits comfortably but stays on for the duration (losing one is not fun). You don’t want something too tight (seriously), too loose (see above), or wrongly shaped. The last brand I tried I could not get on at all (boy was that frustrating).
2. Too Thick or Too Thin.
Very thick condoms depress me so much I’d rather not have sex at all, because I feel more from walking down the street. Very thin condoms are much more exciting — in large part because they break so frequently, making it seem like you’re playing horizontal Russian Roulette.
3. Buying Condoms is Horribly Embarassing.
I’ve heard of normally law-abiding people getting arrested for shoplifting because they were too embarrassed to show condoms to the store clerk. This makes sense to me. I personally put a great deal of thought into where I buy condoms, always trying to order online (this can be perilous though, depending on the name on the shipping label). Plus, there is a longer waiting time than buying a handgun, unless you splurge for express shipping.
Bodegas are the worst places because you have to ask for them behind the counter, and they usually only come in 3-packs, which doesn’t give you much room for error. Pharmacies and discount stores can be maddening when they place condoms behind locked glass, requiring you to go find the pimple-faced manager with the key, making you feel like more of a degenerate. Speaking of shopping, a friend of mine from high school used to joke, “Ramses, Trojan, Sheik. Are we going to have sex or conquer ancient Egypt?”
4. Timing Can Be Tricky.
Another friend of mine told me she wishes she was bi, because when she hooked up with a friend in college she discovered that it’s much easier to get things going between two women, and for much longer, because “there aren’t so many things that need to happen, in the right order.”
I find that unless you are 18 or on the blue pill, it can be tough to have things ready to get the condom on at the right time, especially if you are not 100% comfortable with your partner. A weekend at home might require a whole box of condoms, given natural cycles.
5. Disposal is Icky.
You know when you wake up after a good night, and hop out of bed to get two glasses of water, and set foot on a slick? Yeah, that’s gross. I’m also always paranoid that no matter how many times I wrap up condoms and wrappers in tissue, my roommates or friendly garbage workers will see it and assume I’m some depraved heathen.
6. It Can Break the Mood.
It’s true that one often doesn’t have a condom on the scene. I used to carry one in my wallet, but stopped because 1) several times I reached for a business card and knocked it out in front of people, which was mortifying. 2) I was told that wallets wear condoms out quickly and can make them fail. Unless you are Don Johnson it can be a bit awkward to break the mood and go find something, especially given point 3.
7. They Don’t Feel As Good.
No matter how technologically advanced, it can be hard to forget that you have a piece of material between you and your lover. In the fascinating book Dark Star Safari, Paul Theroux laments that a prominent African he meets decries condoms, since they prevent “skeen to skeen” contact. Yet Africa staggers under terrible HIV rates (in another disturbing passage, Theroux relates a commonly encountered folk belief from his travels: that one can be cured of HIV by having sex with a virgin, the younger the better).
I’ve heard lambskin condoms feel better, but they do not prevent against STDs, due to tiny holes, plus they creep me out. The only other creature’s skin I wear is leather shoes, and I at least have socks on then. Speaking of tiny holes, Theroux wrote that many Africans he met believe laytex condoms are bogus anyway, since they are filled with tiny holes. Yet they cannot explain how rubber tires somehow manage to stay inflated…
But, Condoms Can Often Save Your Life…
So, now that we agree that condoms are far from perfect, we also have to agree that condoms are, in many cases, the best protection we have for safe sex in a complicated world, and can literally save your life (sometimes I’m bummed I missed the swinging, lusty days before HIV, although you’d have to go way, way back into evolution to find a time before any STDs, if there ever was). To drive this crucial message home, Trojan Condoms has recently launched the American Condom Campaign, with the goal of giving away 1 million condoms free to Americans at risk. The campaign has some great celebrity endorsers, from the RZA to Giancarlo Esposito, Dana Delaney, Josh Lucas, Alan Cumming and more.
On the well-executed campaign site, help earn condoms for the drive simply by posting or rating comments, taking the pledge, testing your sex ed knowledge with a quiz (I got 8/10!), forwarding an alert to a friend or, for the most points, uploading your own community video.
In a video produced by the campaign, Trojan street soldiers table an event in Truth style. Channeling Ricky from the Trailer Park Boys, one of the advocates tries to give out free samples of syphilis, herpes and chlamydia (the real name of a young girl in Detroit, according to my friend who’s a doctor there). “If you love somebody you should give them something from you, and that’s why I try to push syphilis,” he explains. “When you get up in the morning and it burns, you feel alive.”
“Don’t hesitate, copulate, and get in here and get some genital warts,” he says, pointing out that you can share it with your wife, girlfriend, boss or sister — well probably (hopefully) not your sister.
Trojan points out some very sobering facts, which few are probably aware of. For example, they cite a Kaiser Family Foundation study indicating that a shocking one third of sexually active people catch some kind of sexually transmitted infection by age 25 (I’d only been with one person by age 25, so that strikes me as particularly surprising). The campaign notes that a staggering 65 million Americans have an incurable STD. Some 5,000 new Americans get HIV a year, and millions get another STD. Many of those are developing antibiotic resistance, something that also impacts our health and environmental safety in other areas.
According to the smarter sex survey, 85% of students ages 18-24 say they never use a condom at all, suggesting that policy makers, condom companies, parents, peers and more are not doing enough to address and counter the complaints enumerated above. We need to get real. We need better condoms, better access, less social stigma, and more realistic, holistic sex education. The U.S. federal government spent $176 million on abstinence-only education in 2007, when objective studies and common sense have clearly shown that abstinence only education cannot be the only piece of the puzzle, and is often harmful. (Witness the recent New Yorker piece on evangelical girls getting pregnant at alarming rates, long after Hester Pryne.)
We need to realize that kids are embarrassed to buy condoms, they don’t know to try different brands, and they are too afraid to ask for advice. And then we wonder why people aren’t using them? Not all condoms are the same, and I have found some over the years that I definitely find most acceptable. I’ve also found some tricks to store them in convenient locations, so it’s easier to keep the mood going.
For this post I informally asked a few friends about their experiences with condoms, and their answers were all over the map. Some, like Howard Stern, say they really prefer them. Others said they really don’t mind them, or find them a very minor inconvenience. I’m still not a fan personally, but I use them anyway because my life is too important to me not to. I hope you’ll agree, and try to find what works for you to stay safe.
Only latex condoms are recommended for the prevention of unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases.
True or False… Oil-based lubricants like baby oil and Vaseline are safe to use with latex condoms.
True or False… Condoms can break if the tip is not pinched to remove air bubbles.
True or False… After sex, a man should withdraw from his partner immediately, holding onto the base of the condom.
True or False… If washed carefully, a condom can be used safely over and over.
True or False… To be prepared, it is always a good idea to have a condom in your wallet.
True or False… Condoms, like groceries, have expiration dates.
True or False… When it comes to condoms, one size fits all.
True or False…Answers
Only latex condoms are recommended for the prevention of unintended pregnancies and STDs.True. Lambskin (or sheepskin) condoms, the second most available type of condom, have tiny pores that may be large enough to allow viruses to pass through.
Oil-based lubricants, like baby oil and Vaseline, are safe to use with latex condoms.False. Use only water-based lubricants, such as K-Y Jelly, with condoms. Oil-based lubricants will weaken the condom and cause it to break.
Condoms can break if the tip is not pinched to remove air bubbles.True. Always pinch the tip of the condom before unrolling it.
After sex, a man should withdraw from his partner immediately, holding onto the base of the condom. True. This will prevent the condom from slipping off and possibly leaking inside his partner.
If washed carefully, a condom can be used safely over and over.False. Condoms can be used only once! Always use a new one if passion strikes twice.
To be prepared, it is always a good idea to have a condom in your wallet.False. This is a bit of a trick question. While you should be prepared, condoms kept in warm places, like a wallet or glove compartment, can weaken from the heat. An outside coat pocket or at home in a cool, dry place are better places to keep condoms.
Condoms, like groceries, have expiration dates.True. Most condoms are good for 3-5 years. Check for the date printed on the box or condom wrapper.
One size fits all.True. This is another trick question. While some companies make larger-sized condoms, a standard sized condom can be stretched over a person’s skull. (Yes, it’s true!) The standard size should be large enough to accommodate most men.
