Lena Schulze* was often at the gynecologist. The first Time she was 14 and found it to be quite embarrassing. Meanwhile, Schulze is 27 and says she got used to it, the appointments with the gynaecologist had become the annual Routine.

Because the man she’s sleeping at the moment, has the clap, more specifically gonorrhea, a sexually transmitted, bacterial infection disease told. The two of preventing with condoms, she says. That Schulze has got, is rather unlikely. “However, I wanted to be on the safe side and test myself.” (Note: Accurate information about the main sexually transmitted diseases is available at the end of the text)
In the case of the woman doctor stopped to ask questions such as: With a condom can happen, but nothing, is it? How, by oral sex I can catch me the clap? “I’ve kept to myself for actually getting for its security,” says Schulze: “In the conversation it became to me clear, however, how little I really know about sexually transmitted diseases.” She wondered: What exactly is Safer Sex?
