Avatar m tn You don't use statistics to assess your risk, you test to know your status. Use condoms correctly and consistently and you can avoid HIV and most STDs.
Avatar n tn I am looking for information and transmission facts and statistics relating to partners who both have HSV-1 orally and one has HSV-2 genitally. Although I know that the chances of spreading HSV-1 to eithers genitals is extremely low, is there any numbers out there on this? Also on the transmission of HSV-2 to the mouth of someone who already has HSV-1? Thanks in advance.
Avatar m tn Could someone please spell out what the statistics say about how much I have increased my risk of skin cancer including melanoma as well as explain to me the likelihood of noticeable long term skin damage such as liver spots, moles etc. If skin damage will occur, when will it become evident and what warning signs should I look for?

The overgeneralizations about people based on skin color or ethnicity are not helpful for anyone, whether that person is white, black, Asian, Latino or from any other cultural background. In an article by Vox.
Avatar n tn I understand this is the wrong forum, but i'm having trouble finding the right forum. I understand i need a doctors opinion. But you apparently didn't read my question right. I want doctors statistics. I don't want you to tell me smoking is ok in moderation. I said "make sure you know what your taling about" meaning make sure you are a doctor or have done alot of research yourself. I didn't expect smokers that are trying to quit to be able to answer my question.
Avatar m tn you are absolutely wrong with this statement, marijuana does not raise blood pressure, it is a vasco dialator and helps to control blood pressure - it is one of the very well established facts about the use of medicinal marijuana.
2023813 tn?1328781764 Everything from the Liver to the Lungs. I also learned that statistics show 1 in every 2 smokers get a chronic illness related to smoking by the age of 40. That's just the flip of a coin. After I read all the facts, giving up was suddenly very easy. My body and mind seemed to know it was the right thing to do and never questioned me. I look at cigarettes now and see a stick of poisons, ones which eat away at your body. Nobody or anything is worth taking such risks for.

Avatar m tn I have been on several websites in reference to my concern, and the statistics are killing me. "Low risk" is not low enough. I engaged in receptive oral sex a few times, for about a minute or two each time, and I'm unsure as to whether or not pre-cum was present during any of the times.
Avatar f tn So, let me give you the facts that you probably already know, but they are important to repeat. Smoking while pregnant will: Lower the amount of oxygen and nutrient available your growing baby. Increase your baby's heart rate. Increase the chances of miscarriage and stillbirth. Increase the risk that your baby is born prematurely and/or born with low birth weight. Increase your baby's risk of developing respiratory (lung) problems.

Avatar n tn Smoking is extremely addictive, but there are certain things we do for our kid that are very hard, and one of them is being pregnant, taking care of our bodies while pregnant and nursing (and I am not even talking about giving birth!). That is only the start of a difficult life of a parent. So, let me give you the facts that you probably already know, but they are important to repeat. Smoking while pregnant will: Lower the amount of oxygen and nutrient available your growing baby.
Avatar f tn I have been told many things about smoking during pregnancy. I am currently nine weeks pregnant and I'm having a problem with just quitting smoking. I've been told that since I've smoked for almost ten years that if I just up and quit I run a high risk of loosing my baby. I've been told to cut back and I've got to where I only smoke about 5 to 8 a day and before I got pregnant I smoked a pack a day.
Avatar m tn I would stay home smoking marijuana reading statistics, doing google searches, reading through forums, and favoriting the pages that made me temporarily feel better about my circumstance. Everyday I would return to do the same thing, only I needed more and more reassurance. I had most of the symptoms of ARS to make me more nervous, but I now can look back and see that I put myself through all of this torture for nothing. I had a strange rash, diahrrea, fever, and sore throat.
Avatar f tn I found a place with an autoclave but do I need to worry about this last time? What are the facts? And do I really need to worry about HIV if it can't live out of its host? Please let me know so I can put my mind to ease. Thank you. This is a follow up question to the following that I already asked: I got a manicure on Sunday at a Vietnamese place. I forgot to bring my own tools so decided to let them use theirs.
Avatar n tn Why since I quit smoking and started using the Patch has my run time go from about 15 min 2 mile to 17
Avatar m tn I am somewhat curious about the distinction between comments from the physicians and those from the forum members / moderators (ie: Lizzie and Teak). Obviously the good doctors are not going to ever use the term "zero risk" when talking about such things as risk when it comes to receiving oral sex as it is safer to refer to the medical community being anywhere from "theoretical" to "low" whereas others on here will state it categorically and emphatically.
Avatar f tn t know how anybody could physically light up a cigarette when pregnant knowing all the facts that we know about smoking. All the studys that have proven how bad it is. I couldn't live with myself!!!
Avatar f tn he want smoke around me. So just look up the facts on second hand smoking then present your facts to your family & let them know your concerns regarding your unborn child.
Avatar m tn i've never heard it either. there are statistics that show if you quit smoking after being diagnosed with lung cancer, it does increase your chance of survival. i mention this because generally smokers getting lung cancer are long time smokers so if it does benefit them, then i think it would apply to someone who's been a long-time smoker but has not been diagnosed with cancer. either way...
