"Diseases

HIV/AIDS
Unprotected sexual intercourse is always a risk that should never be underestimated. Safer sex means either sexual intercourse with a condom or lower risk sexual activities…
In the Czech Republic, the number of reported cases of HIV infections increases every year. HIV leads to AIDS. Most cases are due to unprotected sexual intercourse.
In recent years, the number of other sexually transmitted diseases including serious forms has also been sharply rising, particularly among commercial sex workers and their clients on the border of CZ.

Infections that may be transmitted during sexual intercourse:

- gonorrhoea (kapavka)
- syphilis
- HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) infection
- AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome)
- Viral hepatitis (types B and C)
- Other sexually transmitted infections caused by viruses, bacteria and parasites

Since all of the diseases occur in the CZ one can readily bring them home. If anyone has a suspicion that he or she may have contracted a sexually transmitted disease, he or she should contact a doctor and ask for the examination including an HIV antibody test. He should do so without a delay to start effective treatment as soon as possible and avoid spread of the disease.


Cancer
Cancer is what happens when the normal cells making up a part of a person’s body start to grow faster than usual, take an odd shape, and stop their part of the body from doing its work.
If the cancer lump is found early enough, it can sometimes be removed by surgical operation or killed by treatment with X-rays or gamma rays. But if this isn’t done soon, stray cells break off from the cancerous part and float off in the blood to start trouble elsewhere.
Cancer can start in almost every part of the body-the lungs, the kidneys, the stomach, the bones, the blood or even skin. No one really knows why it starts but ideas are becoming clearer about what makes people likely to get cancer, and doctors are keen to stop people doing things – like smoking cigarettes – which may encourage the disease..."
