time to destigmatise STD’s

I have HPV1 (herpes) and get cold sores on a yearly basis. Theyre painful and annoying and it is Not My Fault that I have them. I’ve had them since I was a kid and my doctor said it’s likely because an adult who has cold sores kissed me as a baby.

HPV1 is commonly spread through things like kissing, sharing drinks, and any other activity where you end up sharing saliva with someone. HPV (both strains) can be spread even when there are no symptoms.

HPV1 can also be passed on to a partner’s genitals. If you have HPV1, you can still get HPV2.

The reason there is no cure is because HPV cells can lay dormant in your nerve cells for years before becoming active again (source).

HPV is incredibly common, and you should always tell any romantic/sexual partner you have it. Always.

Stay safe, and if you have either strain of HPV (or any other STD/STI) then know that you are not dirty. You’re doing the best you can ♡

Got my pap smear test back today and I've got HPV, so I would like to take this opportunity to say:

Wear a fucking condom.

Don't be stupid like I was. Never take for granted that someone is clean.

Always wear a condom.

Sticky Infections

Chlamydia, gonorrhoea and syphilis; the top three sexually transmitted infections worldwide. What's at number 4? Trichomoniasis. It's caused by the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis, which sticks to cells lining the vagina or the urine-carrying duct in the penis. Different strains can infect the same body. Researchers now investigate how these strains communicate with each other by infecting human cells in a dish. Scanning electron microscopy of parasites (pictured, blue) revealed that different strains — some that stick well to cells (CDC1132) and some that are less sticky (G3) — communicate with each other by sending out tube-like protrusions (orange) of their cell membrane. This is facilitated by membrane packages (extracellular vesicles) released by the parasites. Analysing these vesicles revealed that they contain proteins involved in signalling and communication. Importantly, they found CDC1132 and G3 strains both become stickier in the presence of other strains. This may have implications for how trichomoniasis infection progresses.

Fic: Water Creatures, Chapter 14: Sordid Things (Katniss/Finnick)

Warnings: Referenced sex trafficking/prostitution, sexually transmitted diseases, Katniss is a sex worker in this.

AO3 link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/33511450/chapters/116362288

After Finnick was finished fucking her, Beatrix fell asleep in his bed almost immediately.

Finnick quietly extricated himself from her embrace, sighing in relief. If Beatrix slept long, he might even be able to catch a bit of shut eye for himself tonight — in the armchair in his living room, that is. He could never sleep in the same bed as one of his clients.

Finnick walked out to his living room and decided to make himself a drink. He'd earned one. He rolled his shoulders. For some reason, his muscles sometimes ached after seeing clients, though there was no real reason why this should be the case. He made himself one of the gin martinis that they'd been drinking earlier and made a second for Beatrix just in case she did wake up.

He sat down in his favorite armchair and took a sip of his drink.

There was a knock at his back door.

Finnick frowned. It was getting dark outside and he wasn't sure who could be knocking at this hour. He went into the kitchen and opened the back door to find Katniss Everdeen standing on the stoop. Finnick felt heat rise to his face. Of course she would want to come down here, what with her kid getting injured earlier. Finnick had felt guilty about sending the boy off on his own, without even offering to escort him home. But it wasn't exactly like Finnick's time was his own. He couldn't walk out on a client. Katniss definitely struck him as the protective type of mother, though, so he couldn't say that he was surprised to see her.

"Katniss," he said. "Step inside."

She stepped into the kitchen. Finnick offered her a seat and she sat down.

"Let me explain about earlier," he said.

"Earlier?" she asked.

Finnick looked her over again, examining her confused expression. And then there were her clothes. They were nowhere near as obvious as the little red dress she'd worn the first time Finnick met her, but they weren't completely casual either. She was wearing jeans and a pretty top. Probably what a lot of women would wear to a date in this district. But the jeans were just a little too tight and the top was rather low-cut.

Katniss wasn't here because of Fletcher. Katniss was here to work.

"I — listen, I really can't hire you tonight," Finnick said.

"Oh," Katniss said, visibly deflating. "Well, I can come back some other time if you—"

"Finnick," said a voice behind him. Finnick gritted his teeth. The voice belonged to Beatrix Stodge.

"Beatrix. Darling," Finnick said, as he turned to face her.

She was wearing a long, silk robe and smoking a cigarette in one of the little holders that she favored. She stopped short as she caught sight of Katniss.

"Who on earth is she?" she asked.

"This is Katniss," Finnick said. He didn't offer any explanations for what Katniss was doing in his kitchen.

Beatrix's eyes took Katniss in more fully before she turned back to Finnick.

"And who is Katniss?"

"Just a friend," Finnick said.

"A friend? Darling, you've only been living in this district for a short time. How many friends can you have stopping by?"

"I've always made friends quickly," Finnick said, although this wasn't exactly true. Maybe it was true once, when he was a kid, but Finnick found it difficult to make friends these days.

"Um, maybe I should come back later," Katniss said.

Finnick was about to agree, but Beatrix shook her head.

"No, no, don't be ridiculous," Beatrix said. "I'm always eager to meet Finnick's friends. Aren't I, darling?"

Beatrix was slurring her words a bit. She was drunk. Finnick wasn't sure whether he should be happy about that fact or not. Clients could become unpredictable when drunk, but drinking and fucking had always put Beatrix in a better mood.

"No," Katniss said. "I don't want to ruin your evening. I didn't realize that Finnick had company—"

"Come into the living room and we can talk properly," Beatrix interrupted, waving her martini glass a bit. "We don't want to sit around the kitchen like servants now do we?"

"Uh—" Katniss started.

"Of course we don't," Beatrix said. She turned and walked into the living room. Katniss looked at Finnick and he shrugged. He wanted nothing better than to tell her to leave, but Beatrix could get antsy when her whims weren't obeyed. He half expected Katniss to leave on her own, but after pausing for a moment, Katniss sighed and followed Beatrix into the living room.

Beatrix sat down on the sofa where Killer was already quietly lounging. Finnick could tell just by looking at him that Beatrix had slipped the little mutt a sedative. The only time that Killer was that quiet was when Beatrix had slipped him a sedative. Katniss sat in the chair across from Beatrix. Finnick started to join Beatrix on the sofa, but she objected.

"Finnick, aren't you going to offer your friend a drink?" she asked.

"Katniss," Finnick said, evenly. "Would you like a drink?"

Katniss looked back and forth between Finnick and Beatrix before shrugging.

"Sure."

Finnick went over to the bar and made her the same martini that he'd made for himself and Beatrix. He wasn't going to try to figure out Katniss's drink preferences the way he had on the night he'd met her. He wanted to get her out the door as quickly as possible.

"My, you are a pretty thing, aren't you?" Beatrix asked Katniss as Finnick stirred the martini.

"I suppose," Katniss said, with the air of a woman who didn't truly think she was pretty.

"How did you meet Finnick?" Beatrix asked, petting Killer with one hand. The little mutt growled in appreciation.

"We met around town," Katniss said, waving her hand in a vague fashion. She was obviously uncomfortable, sitting on the edge of her seat.

"Around town?" Beatrix asked. "Well, that's terribly vague, my dear. Where exactly?"

Katniss glanced over at Finnick and he gave a small shake of his head. He hoped that she wasn't thinking of telling Beatrix how they'd really met.

"We met at the clinic," Katniss said.

"The clinic?"

"Yeah," she continued. "I work there part time and Finnick came in for a physical."

She was a terrible liar, flushing and refusing to meet anyone's eyes. Finnick found it interesting that she'd used her sister's job as a cover story.

"That's why I came over tonight, in fact," Katniss continued. "To tell him the results of the physical."

Beatrix raised her eyebrows while Finnick groaned to himself. This lie was even more obvious — even a child could have seen through it. Even a bored Capitolite.

"You make house calls at this hour?" Beatrix asked.

"Well, um, we're also friends as Finnick said," Katniss said, squirming a bit in her chair. "And I walk this way on my way home from work anyway, so …"

Katniss trailed off. Beatrix was now leaning back on the sofa and regarding her with suspicious eyes.

"Go on then," Beatrix said.

"Huh?"

"You said that you wanted to tell him the results of his physical. So tell him."

"Well —- I'm not sure — I mean, there's patient confidentiality to consider," Katniss said.

"Oh darling," Beatrix said. "Finnick and I have no secrets from one another."

Katniss looked back over at Finnick. He sighed.

"It's fine, Katniss," he said. The sooner she answered, the sooner Beatrix would become bored with her and she could be on her way. It wasn't as if she could actually reveal any secret information to Beatrix because she hadn't actually given him a physical. He handed Katniss her martini and she took a rather large drink.

"Well … your results are good," Katniss said. "All our tests came back, um, fine. You're very healthy."

"Oh, I figured that I was as healthy as a horse," Finnick said, wryly. She could have at least made her lie sound a little more convincing by making up some fake medical facts or test results or something.

Beatrix was nodding along.

"That's wonderful to hear," she said. "And the gonorrhea is all cleared up, correct?"

Katniss choked on her drink and then coughed several times. Finnick felt blood rush to his face.

"Um. What?" Katniss asked.

"I was told that he had gonorrhea," Beatrix said. "That's why I didn't arrange to come to District 12 earlier."

Katniss blinked and then looked over at Finnick.

"You have gonorrhea?" she asked, seemingly forgetting her story about treating him at the clinic.

"I had gonorrhea," Finnick admitted. "But it's cleared up now."

"Right," Katniss said, squirming even harder on the edge of her seat. "Well. I should go … since I've told you the results and all."

"My dear—" Beatrix started.

"I'll show you out," Finnick said. "Beatrix, darling, I would love to give you my undivided attention as soon as I show my little friend here to the door."

He wiggled his eyebrows at Beatrix suggestively. She giggled like a teenager. Finnick followed Katniss back through the kitchen and she turned on him as soon as they were out of Beatrix's hearing range.

"Do you really have gonorrhea?" she asked, in an undertone.

"Had," Finnick said, a bit irritated that she was asking again. "I don't have gonorrhea, I had gonorrhea."

"You took those shots they give for it at the clinic?" she asked.

"Yeah."

"Oh. I guess that explains why …"

Katniss trailed off.

"That explains what?" Finnick asked.

"Well. I guess it explains why you didn't want to do anything the other times that we met," Katniss said. "I … appreciate you being careful. Not all guys would be that careful with a whore."

Oh. She was thinking of him as a client again. That was why she'd shown so much interest in the revelation that he'd had gonorrhea. She didn't want to catch it.

"Katniss, I—"

"You know," Katniss interrupted in an undertone. "You could have just told me that your girlfriend was here when you answered the door. I would have left quickly enough. You don't get very far in my line of work by stirring up the wrath of jealous girlfriends."

"I would imagine not," Finnick said, faintly.

"Personally, I think she seems a little old for you," Katniss went on. "But I guess it's none of my business."

"I'm no spring chicken," Finnick said, feeling rather cold. "I'm approaching forty."

"Yeah," Katniss said, with a snort. "And that woman is seventy if she's a day."

Finnick didn't know how to reply to that statement. Of course Beatrix was much older than him. Most of Finnick's clients were older than him. The clients who were around his age tended to want to fuck the victors who were in their teens or twenties. That was just how it went in the Capitol. Wealthy people wanted a pretty, younger thing to show about town.

"But like I said, none of my business," Katniss continued, quickly. "I'll come back some other time. How long did you say she was going to be in District 12?"

"I didn't," Finnick said, crossing his arms. "Never mind about that. I need to tell you something."

"Oh. What?"

"It's just — your son was here earlier," Finnick began.

Katniss's face scrunched up in confusion. "Fletcher? Here? Why?"

"We hired him to carry Beatrix's bags from the train station," Finnick said.

"Oh," Katniss said, her face clearing a bit. "Well, he goes down to the station sometimes looking to make a few extra dollars. A lot of the boys do that."

"Yeah," Finnick said, running a hand through his hair. "I just thought I'd tell you — while he was here, Beatrix's dog bit him."

"Fletcher got bitten by a dog?" Katniss asked, in alarm. "Where—"

"I patched him up and told him to go straight home," Finnick said. "I tried to give him money to go to the doctor if he needs it, but he wouldn't take it. I'm really sorry — I don't think it's serious, but if it gets worse I want you to be sure to let me know. I'll pay for any doctor's visits."

Katniss glanced into the living room where Beatrix was still petting Killer.

"That dog?" she asked. "He's little, but — he's a mutt, isn't he?"

"He's a ploodle, yes," Finnick said. "But his bite isn't toxic so far as I'm aware."

"I — I should get home," Katniss said. "I need to check on him."

Finnick nodded. "Of course. Again — I'm really sorry."

Katniss glanced back into the living room.

"Your girlfriend isn't going to apologize?" she asked, her eyes narrowing. "It was her dog, wasn't it?"

Finnick shook his head. Beatrix never apologized for anything that Killer did. And if she was to issue an apology, it wouldn't be to a woman from District 12.

"I'm not sure that she knows you and Fletcher are related," Finnick said, quickly. "And Beatrix is — well, she's Capitol. She thinks a little differently from you or I."

Katniss's eyes narrowed further.

"Okay, fine," she said, at last. "I guess that I'll see you later then."

After she left, Finnick walked back into the living room to find Beatrix polishing off her martini and stroking Killer's fur, lightly. She handed the empty glass to Finnick and asked him to refill it.

"Finnick, darling," she said, as he poured gin into her glass, "was that woman … a lady of the evening?"

Finnick paused. "Of course not. She just works at the clinic like she told you."

Beatrix raised her eyebrows. "I do hope that you're being truthful with me. I know that you must be terribly lonely here in District 12, but I would hate to see you do sordid things with someone unsavory."

Finnick stirred her drink, gritting his teeth the entire time. Anyone would think she'd forgotten that she'd paid to have sex with him.

"Oh Beatrix," Finnick said, in his best seductive purr. "The only lady that I intend to do sordid things to is you."

Beatrix smiled.

Conversation

Me reading fanfic that mentions sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing as a precursor to sex or a regular part of an ongoing healthy relationship: Yes! Yes! Yes!

Me reading fanfic that uses 'clean' for negative STI test results: No! No! No!

Teacher me wanting to inform writers: Consider nonjudgmental words for test results like negative or clear for no STIs present. Positive results are also a thing because that happens too and people can work around it with safer sex practices and getting treatment. When you use 'clean' the conclusion drawn by readers living with an STI is that they are dirty and that is not the case at all. Please don't make them feel that way about very common circumstances that are never a reflection of their worth as a person.
