Hey people, I will start by
dismantling several widely spread in Nigeria myths. One of them is present in
the very name of “toilet infection”. Certainly, this is not a medical term to
be used. A better one would be “vaginal infections” or even STI (sexually
transmitted infections). Also some people believe that the sexually transmitted
infections can be likened to toilet diseases that are contacted through the
toilet. This is wrong because STIs cannot be transmitted from toilet use
because the viruses and bacteria causing STIs cannot survive without the human
body. Thus, STIs are only contacted through unprotected sexual activities.
