Ensure you’re STD-free, married men told

Star: IPOH: Married men, listen up. If you have had unprotected sex with others, do not do it with your wife.
Wait until the end of the six-month window period and after blood tests show negative results for sexually transmitted diseases (STD).
The advice came from Wanita MCA chief Datuk Dr Ng Yen Yen, who said such diseases could not be detected immediately and there was a window period of about six months.
“Don’t think that if you have gone to Haadyai, you are safe after you have been declared free of STD,” she said at the Perak Wanita MCA annual general meeting here yesterday.
“Some men think that they are cleared if they immediately carry out a blood test which produces negative results,” she said, adding that it was an illusion.
“So please don’t have sex with your wife for at least six months if you have had unprotected sex outside of marriage,” said Dr Ng.
“Even if you want to, please use a condom. Practise safe sex,” she added.
Dr Ng, who is Deputy Finance Minister, urged Wanita members to take care of their health by taking early cancer detection tests.
