Sun, sea, and STDs

Going on holiday is about relaxing, letting your hair down, and having fun. It's a time when some people throw caution to the wind with their diets, alcohol consumption, and sexual experiences. It's not surprising then that nearly one in 20 British holiday makers return with some unwanted luggage. In a survey of holiday makers, around 23% said they had sex with a stranger. Some of these thought they may have but couldn't remember because they were too drunk. Alcohol is a major inhibition buster, and with over a third of people surveyed admitting to getting drunk every night they were away, so it is no wonder many returned home with unpleasant reminders of their time away.

If you do have unprotected sex whilst on holiday, especially with a stranger, then you need to get an STD test as soon as possible. Here at samedaydoctor we can offer appointments and a walk in clinic, with results able to be given the same day, or even the same hour. Catching STDs early is important so they can do as little damage as possible.Even if you remember taking precautions, a visit to a GUM clinic is still advisable if your memory isn't to be trusted.

Whilst it is possible to get fast STD test results, and to be treated for any STDs you catch, it isn't worth the potential damage you could cause to your body, or someone else's if you continue to spread it. Any regret over a casua encounter will be minimised, and you'll have a much better time if you're not worrying about the potential dangers to your health. It is probably worth taking condoms that meet national and international standards, as buying cheap condoms could well end up with you in the same situation as if you hadn't used any at all.
