Prevention Using a condom during sex offers some protection. Birth control pills offer no protection against STDs. If you had the disease once and have been successfully treated,  that  does  not  grant  you  immunity  against contracting an STD again. If you have been diagnosed as having an STD and are  receiving  treatment  at  the  present  time,  don’t attempt to hide the name(s) of your sexual partners. The chances are that one of them infected you or have been infected by you. They deserve the benefit of treatment too. The health department will contact the persons named and treat them. These steps, which are done confidentially, can help in stopping an outbreak of a sexually transmitted disease.

SUMMARY In this chapter, you have learned some of the basic steps and procedures required when administering first aid.  You  may  never  have  the  need  to  use  these procedures,  but  if  the  situation  should  arise,  by following the procedures outlined, and with additional training, you may be in a position to render what could be  life-saving  assistance.  You  also  learned  the recommended ways of transporting injured personnel so they can receive proper medical attention. Personal  hygiene  is  an  important  part  of  living closely together. A shipmate not overly concerned with keeping  himself  or  herself  clean  and  squared  away could affect your physical well-being, but could also affect the morale of a great number of crew members. Keeping yourself clean and squared away will benefit you and the people you come into contact with on a daily basis. Another topic covered here is sexually transmitted diseases. Being attracted to a member of the opposite sex is a natural reaction. Be aware of the possibility that if you engage in multiple sexual relations, you could become infected with one of the sexually transmitted diseases discussed in this chapter. Being responsible in your sexual relations and using approved protective measures will go a long way toward protecting yourself. 14-32 Student Notes:
