Sointu Borg opens up about the moment when he was diagnosed with venereal disease.
TV star Sointu Borg tells The word is free podcast in the latest episode, how he was once diagnosed with venereal disease. He wants to share his story in the spirit of enlightenment.
– I have had chlamydia during these wild single years, we can normalize this topic as well. I don’t remember who I got it from, says the presenter Borg in the episode To Janni Huss.
According to Borg, the situation was “terrible”.
– It’s the worst thing in the world if you’re in such a single phase that you have an active sex life. You need to let everyone know when you get that result because it can be contagious.

The Diili winner remembers how he had to tell people about his results with whom he had only been out once.
– Send a Whatsapp message like this: Hi! Sunshine for your day. I just took the tests, you should too, Borg continues.
– It was absolutely horrible.
Although the situation seemed awkward, in Borg’s opinion sexual partners should be told about STDs. Otherwise, according to the TV star, the result is a “snowball effect”, meaning the disease can spread even further.

Health experts also advise people to report their sexually transmitted diseases as quickly as possible.
– In the least, the shame is not eased by not telling – the situation will only get worse if someone who is unaware of the infection spreads the disease. There is much less shame in telling about the infection so that the disease can be treated before the symptoms develop, than if the symptoms get worse, Terveystalo specialist in gynecology and obstetrics, docent Anna-Mari Heikkinen stated in an interview with Iltalehti in 2014.
