In the Middle East, everyone is having sex but no one wants to talk about it – as pointed out to Shereen El Feki whilst she was travelling the Arab region talking about sex. Despite the ease with which people are locking lips, a culture of silence still exists around the topic of sex and sexual health.

Temporary marriages are an ancient Islamic practice that enable a man and woman to become husband and wife for a specified period of time. Terms of practice vary with different beliefs. In the Middle East, these contractual relationships are becoming more popular. They allow people to engage in sexual relationships in a socially and religiously-acceptable way.

Over one million sexually transmitted infections are acquired every day worldwide [1]. You can catch an STI through sexual contact, as well as vaginal, anal or oral sex. The likelihood of you catching or passing on an STI is higher if you do not practice safer sex, for example by wearing a condom.

More than 26 million people in the Middle East and North Africa region have curable sexually transmitted infections. [1] There is a stigma associated with STIs, particularly regarding the topic of who gets infected. This could be due to misinformation or a lack of education around sexual health. It is important to remember that STIs do not discriminate; anyone can be affected by sexually transmitted infections. [2]

You may be suffering from an outbreak of blemishes around the mouth, the genital or anal areas of your body. These can be in the form of sores, ulcers, lesions, warts, blisters or any other breaks in the continuation of skin. Herpes, Syphilis and the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) are common sexually transmitted infections that trigger these types of symptoms. The only way to know which STI you have contracted is to get tested as soon as possible.

The first thing anyone does when they notice a worrying symptom is to google what their symptoms might mean. Rather than scaring yourself into a state of denial and vowing never to see a doctor for fear of a diagnosis, it is much more productive to seek the advice of a qualified medical professional. This includes concerns about your sexual health.

The year of
broadcasting your engagement on social media and to anyone who will listen is
finally over – now you have to plan the extravagant one-day spectacle. Amongst
trying on the entire racks of wedding dresses, the brutal selection of
attendees, you may become lost in all the potential ways a napkin can be folded
and forget the true purpose of the marriage: to become a family. Whether this
means you want a hoard of children or – to quote Carrie and Mr Big from Sex &
The City – quite content with being ‘Just Us Two’, a premarital health screen
should be somewhere in your wedding to-do list.

Positive STI diagnoses are nothing to be embarrassed about, no matter how hard the shame and stigma surrounding sexually transmitted infections might try to convince you otherwise. It is usually considered illegal to knowingly or recklessly transmit an STI. For example, some countries have laws that require you to notify certain people or authorities if you are HIV-positive.

| Tags: Herpes
There are many misconceptions about Herpes. If you do have Herpes, you’re not alone. In MENA, the prevalence of HSV I is as high as 97.5% in some populations [1]. There are over 100 herpes virus types, of which eight can be found in humans. Types I and II are the most common [2].
| Tags: Fertility, Sexually Transmitted Infections, STIs
The simple answer is yes. If left untreated, several STIs can pose health risks including loss of fertility. Whilst regular sexual health testing is advised despite your fertility plans, it is particularly important to be tested for STIs before conceiving. Here we explain which infections can impact your fertility and how.
| Tags: Chlamydia
It is often
assumed that STI rates may be lower in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) due
to certain religious and cultural norms which differ significantly to Europe
and other parts of the world. However, the rate of Chlamydia infection found in
MENA is parallel to that in other regions across the world.
| Tags: Hepatitis C
As reported in The
National, the UAE aims to significantly reduce the prevalence of Hepatitis C by
targeting specific high-risk groups and communities [1]. The virus, which chronically affects around 71 million people
globally [2], can eventually lead to cirrhosis of the liver and is a major cause of
liver cancer.

by The New Arab, Tunisia is set to become the first country in the Arab world to
introduce sex education into schools. This is a positive sign of progress in
improving awareness of sex and sexual health in MENA.
