nice news and keeping. mom. malegaon story. nico is a. must. stop it's january 27th on d w. she. welcomes here in good shape coming up. fitness training for core muscles. light therapy special maps for seasonal depression. and sexually transmitted infections testing treatment prevention. and here's your host dr costin lake tat today the show is about the small things in life that are of

great importance. condoms for instance why you're watching the show around 9000 condoms are used in germany alone and this is a good thing because condoms can protect you from transmitting a student's sexual transmitted disease it's why those as disease are dangerous this is what i'm going to talk about with dr viviani here at all but call institute in the live welcome to the chick. sexually transmitted infections they don't need to be painful there are ways and means to protect yourself or to get treated. wherever in the world people live and

maybe there will be sexually transmitted diseases everybody has heard about syphilis or going to rear but when you are affected yourself you don't want to talk about it that's honestly the best medicine is sex education. this is the center for sexual health and medicine in both home. while you're waiting for an appointment you may read a magazine and you're likely to find a rather in your face ad from the health ministry if your crotch is on fire go to the doctor. sexually transmitted diseases are on the rise again in germany. professor norbert park meyer heads the center visit. to will 3 cases of syphilis i'm going to rio every day one fact is that there are new ways for people to get together as via modern technology dating apps and chat rooms so they make contact much faster church rules there's

a lot to. talked another factor is new forms of sexual behavior which increase the risk of infection and was the 3rd aspect is the use of stimulants during sex when you're high on crystal meth or whatever other drug you're less likely to be thinking about the risk of contracting a sexually transmitted infection. easy call. the center offers a new integrated approach it addresses medical social emotional and psychological aspects of sexual health sex education and disease prevention are also central there's counseling for the young for couples l g b t i people sex workers and people with hiv aids care is free and can be anonymous. at its end. the center welcomes a wide range of visitors young couples who have been together

a while i want to stop using condoms they 1st want to get a check to make sure they're both healthy and. then we see women who want to have a baby and want to make sure they don't have any infections that they might pass on but and we see men who are paid for sexual services some want to get tested and men who have had sex with other men it. can talk. one problem is that with some s.t.d. is there are no symptoms or the symptoms are minimal a little discharge or a slight hitch so those affected are slow to seek treatment and can also pass on the diseases to other partners. tell me what brought you to us. i just got a call from a friend i had sex with about 6 months ago. and he told me he'd been

diagnosed with syphilis so i'm a little bit we're. but have you noticed any symptoms on your skin or in your mouth . one often sees changes to the palms of the hands and. the topic about my little engine only i get a slight rash but i always put it down to some kind of allergy perhaps that's a sometime to the gangs but i've never noticed anything more substantial that does it for this kind of syphilis can be pretty much symptom free and is then only diagnosed by means of a blood test by finding that bacteria in the blood and try estimate the likelihood you've been infected at 40 or 50 percent so quite high. when people think about sexually transmitted infections hiv or aids usually comes to mind syphilis lesser nowadays so it was a shock to hear i was at risk but as i've just been told syphilis can be cured so

it's good to be informed about it swiftly then you can do something about it at once and make sure you don't pass it on to anyone else to hold off for him. untreated syphilis can cause paralysis brain damage blindness and even death but early stage infection can be cured with antibiotics usually penicillin of course not contracting an s.t.d. in the 1st place is better hence the importance of sex education in the hope of covetousness what we have to do is engage with people the way they are and the way they live their lives whatever their sexual preference is here at the clinic no talk because out of bounds this is you can talk about anything we're here to help people get through life infection free. to sleep. the clinic also hosts a weekly breakfast for the aids patients talking about things can be helpful in its own right with fellow sufferers as well as with professionals it's all about

encouraging openness teaching the facts and countering fear. if we want to contain is to be swift to talk about them and this is what i'm going to do today with dr. thanks for having me today and what other major sexually transmitted diseases well there are many sexually transmitted infections in fact. i could talk about many of them but apart from each of the the most important ones are going to be can they just be transmitted via sexual intercourse or sexual behavior or can they be transmitted with other daily activities like going to the toilet for instance well they're really a transmitter of fruit sexual activity so even if some people would like to think it's mythical from toilet seats there are not transmitted through toilet seats let's talk about going to. what are the 1st symptoms well i'm going to read the 1st symptoms would be some burning during your innate ng and also

there would be discharge from the penis of the giant. so it's very uncomfortable and do all the patients have symptoms no not all patients do have symptoms they would be in going to be about half of the patients with symptoms of us we can even notice that they're infected with going to but those patients still can transmit this disease exactly that can still transmit the disease although they have no symptoms how do you treat well you can treat every year from. antibiotics however it is becoming increasingly difficult to treat it's going to be because the number of antibiotics that are really effective against going to be. it is very very small in this becoming smaller and smaller so eventually they may be the case that we cannot treat going to be any more and what happens then well if we can we have case suspect we cannot treat anymore with antibiotics these people will in fact be very

very. they will have a sepsis it's so life 1st thing that it's a life threatening disease yes although it's normally really a very common and very small disease can become life threatening let's talk about comedian fiction so what's the difference between comedian fictions and going to real well they are causing almost the same symptoms so the difference is actually with that it is more often asymptomatic so the majority of people that are infected with chlamydia do not notice that they are infected and this is especially the case for women and what about syphilis this can be treated today as well yes syphilis can be treated. quite easily actually all penicillin if you don't treat it could be dangerous well syphilis is easy to treat if you

diagnose it very early so. in the beginning it can cause a painless sore which then disappears and then afterwards there will be some of the variety of symptoms like a rash and fever etc so if it is diagnosed at that stage it's quite easy to treat it however if it's not diagnosed. would normally be diagnosed years later there can be some organic damage who should get tested even if there are no symptoms at all well people who should get tested are people that have different sexual partners so especially if they didn't use any continent then they should consider going to. physician and get tested for different sexually transmitted infections you can protect yourself protect the sexual partner with using condoms how safe are they when it comes to sex or transmitted diseases condoms can protect

against sexually transmitted infections however they are not the perfect protection so you might use condoms and still get infected by sexually transmitted infections however having a protection is better than having no protection at all condoms also protect against age i v the virus that triggers the deadly aids disease so you can test yourself if you do have aids or hiv infection and you can do this in the office of your g.p. or easily. and the co thomas has just gotten a hiv testing kit from the pharmacy you'll have the result in about 10 minutes minus misnomers frontline by feel a little turds we have to read the instructions and then of course you're nervous about the result of one far. the illustrated instruction pamphlet is easy to follow it's very important to disinfect your finger before pricking it to draw blood you

just need a tiny drop of blood to place in the buff a point for which a stick is provided and on and off and then i need to put 2 drops of the fluid in the space next to it with you can see a pink mark has appeared in the window which means the test as active then you just wait for 10 minutes to move a single line in the test window means the hiv test is negative. but how reliable are these tests. we asked hiv specialist christoph lieber at the oldest of victoria clinic in berlin he welcomes hiv testing kits early diagnosis can make all the difference. traditionally and what to do we hope that they'll motivate people to go out and get them and test themselves if we can treat hiv infections early then we can prevent people from actually falling sick and the other benefit is that once people who are hiv positive are being treated they won't infect others. and.

christoph they this says both of the self testing kits sold in germany are reliable or to test me i h. an exacto if the result is positive you should go to the doctor to have it confirmed however if the hiv infection is only recent the test might not detect it . and effect if i want to if you think you've been infected you need to wait 3 months before doing the test and that's because it takes hiv infected persons up to 3 months to develop antibodies at levels that can be detected by the test. and rico thomas is about to get his result germany's disease prevention and control agency estimates there are over 11000 people in the country who don't know their hiv positive very good evidence and we think there is a lot going through my mind that i always had safe sex when was my last test it's

always nerve wracking and what i'm wondering is what would i do if the result is positive and there are various options available because. this test is actually recommended by the german hiv aids charity. then a book works for hiv aids helpline advising people online or on the phone but inside it's just easier to take the pseudosphere with the self test kids people usually use them at home in their living rooms by themselves. that's why. they dare to do it. is too much but it's important that the right help lines so that people who test positive have someone to turn to. and is. so on. the 10 minutes or up the result negative i said i'm very relieved i'm sure you can tell i'm lucky. here in germany mostly men who have sex with men are affected by hiv infections but on a worldwide scale it's

a totally different picture they are equally men and women affected so how do you contract agency each of these contracts mainly by sexual transmission however you can also contract each of the through contaminated needles or blood transfusions or it can be transmitted from a mother to her child during pregnancy but not for instance with using the same toilets are absolutely not transmitted move through toilets who should be tested in your opinion everybody should be tested to have different partners so if you have different partners during the past month or so you should consider to get tested condoms provide a brilliant protection against hiv but there's something different which is called prep what is so precious a pre-exposure prophylaxis and it's a pill that you're taking on a daily basis and this protecting you very effectively if you're hiv negative

against contracting hiv so we are quite happy about this new method of prevention that helps people to stay hiv negative of course there are some countries indications already there are some secondary effects which you need to take into consideration before giving a prep to somebody do you think that if more people would you spread instead of condoms that other kinds of s.t.d. would be increased we've seen an increase in sexually transmitted infections for a couple of years already and they have. for we believe that at least these people who are not using condoms for whatever reason now have a way of getting protected against hiv so using condoms is a very smart move from a medical point of view it can even protect you from transmitting h.p.v. what is this so h.p.v. . it's actually turns with that infection caused by human papillomavirus and actually most girls and boys i get infected at one point in time especially when

they start having sex. and most of these people are actually eliminating this disease over the course of the years and there's a very small percentage that stays with this virus and eventually this far as can lead to cancer but to protect yourself from h.p.v. you could only use condoms there's something like a vaccination yes and these are the good news h.p.v. vaccination is very effective and it's very safe so i can recommend to really for all boys and girls to get vaccinated against age against h.p.v. great thank you so much for this very interesting talk so if you think that there's something wrong and you might suffer from some kind of is to go and see your doctor and get yourself tested and while sitting in the waiting room you can spend your time wisely with me. in good shape your weekly health show on d w that covers many aspects of health care we look at what's new in medical treatment

report it's all about lack. of gray and very little light that's what our short days look like at the moment off to work in the dark and back home in the dark the lack of light has an effect on us it's not a myth the winter blues is scientifically proven. and winter in our latitudes about 10 to 15 percent of the population suffer from winter blues or with the depression or they complain of symptoms such as lack of drive a cluny mood joylessness and increased fatigue frequently however they also complain about ravenous appetite and a strong need for sleep. it's no wonder we've always been dependent on daylight when we were still living outside it was all straightforward but long as the sun shined we were active at night without sunlight we regenerated today we sometimes have to get up even when it's still dark and we spend most of the short

bright thanks indoors we live against the natural rhythm of sunlight. even in winter we should be l. side in the daylight for one to 2 hours every day to get enough light otherwise we become dull a null and colony fortunately there's an alternative an extra dose of light from a light therapy. 30 minutes in front of one of these devices every morning can effectively drive away the winter blues. light stimulates you and makes you more attentive it promotes concentration it influences your energy levels it switches the body to the daily routine and it also activates your immune systems. we have receptor is in our eyes which are there to sense when it's light these dangly and ok to eat and all retina. they react to blue light whether sun or therapy lamp. the cells transmits the information about brightness

a special light spectrum in classic ceiling and floor lamps they use full spectrum light for this purpose artificial light which light natural sunlight heinously emits the entire color spectrum from red to blue there are like light therapy lamps which emit only blue light or normal home lighting which is more yellowish. for spectrum if you use full spectrum light as a replacement for daylight then the intensity doesn't have to be as strong as in front of a light therapy device for and. whether they're all full spectrum light in the evening at any rate turned those lights off candles or yellowish lamp light signal to us it's time to turn in. i ruefully of that advice and head home and hit the. hey what about you if you don't know just watch the show again on the show next week and i'm something that's
