Anyone considered "older" knows how important sex is (or isn't!) in their life - it's a very individual issue. However, anyone sexually active at ANY age needs to be aware of the risk of STDs. Dr. Christina discusses the topic of Safe Sex for Seniors in yet another informative blog.
Dear Dr. Christina, My husband and I have been married for 5 years. We separated for one month and then we decided to try to work out our problems together. We both apologized and promised we’d try to make our marriage work. Last week I was told by my doctor that I needed to be treated for a sexually transmitted disease called “Chlamydia”. I was shocked. I will be honest with you; during the time I was not living with my husband, I had only one affair but the guy used protection, so I know it couldn’t have been him. I want to kill my husband for bringing this awful thing into my life and into our marriage especially when I trusted him. How am I going to handle the embarrassment of others knowing that my husband cheated on me, as well as endure my private business being reported to the Department of Public Health? Signed, Confused
