This may sound ignorant, but is there such a thing? Recently an EE SP mentioned that there was from EE and that she did not know what (language problem understanding her) it was called. I have tried to search on the net, but have not found it. It is to my understanding an after sex anti-bacterial gel for both male and female(internal) application for std prevention.:confused:

I don't think that is such a thing such as that. But I have been with a couple of providers that has used rubbing alcohol on me on my genitalia to before doing anything.

Hi IffyK

I have not heard of a product that can be used after sex. I’m wondering if you are thinking of Microbicides which are still being developed and would need to be used before sex.

Microbicides is a new line of products that can be applied inside the vagina or the rectum to protect against sexually transmitted infections and HIV. It is still being evaluated in clinical trials but many of the products have had good results and hopefully will be on the market soon.

I have included a link to the world health organizations (WHO) web page which discusses Microbicides.

Is there any evidence to suggest that washing the genital region after sex with some sort of anti-bacterial solution reduces the risk of STDs?

Yes. This has been standard advice for years; at the very least, the easiest thing you can do to reduce the chance of certain infections is to wash up immediately after. I think even the directions included with condoms still suggest this as a basic preventative measure.

Can't hurt. They used to go under desks in fear of a nuke attack.
Honestly though, wash up, sure. I don't think it's going to help but you never know. If it feels good even better.

Hi smllms

I have not been able to find any research or evidence that shows that washing reduces your chances of getting an STI.

It has been shown that virus’s such as HIV and herpes are generally inactivated (killed) when washing with soap and water so it would not be harmful if someone did wash with soap and water. With that said, I would like to stress that there is no evidence that washing after sex will reduce your chance of getting an STI.

There are situation where washing might increase your risk of STI. I have seen people that have come to the clinic with broken skin from excessive washing, using strong chemicals or chemicals that are not supposed to be used on the skin. This breakdown in the first protective layer of skin could increase your risk if you came in contact with infected fluids.

Douching (washing out the vagina) has also been shown to increase risk for certain STI’s. Some solutions can disrupt the natural environment in the vagina which may increase the risk for STI’s. I have found a research study that shows an increased risk of HIV for woman who douche.

Does this answer your question?
