A woman with not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 STDs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases)!
With 1 STD you could say it may have been transmitted even by “accident” but how does a woman get 4 STDs without being exposed systematically to partners who themselves are carriers of STDs?!
What does it speak other than the character of such a woman?
HSV-1, HSV-2, genital herpes, herpes gladiatorum…
Herpes gladiatorum is one of the most infectious of herpes-caused diseases, and is transmissible by skin-to-skin contact. The disease was first described in the 1960s in the New England Journal of Medicine. It is caused by contagious infection with human herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1),[1] which more commonly causes oral herpes (cold sores). Another strain, HSV-2 usually causes genital herpes, although the strains are very similar and either can cause herpes in any location.
In 2010, a scientific article from the Indian Journal of Sexually Transmitted Diseases titled
Characterization of patients with multiple sexually transmitted infections: A hospital-based survey
had concluded
A total of 275 patients, with one or more STIs were included in the study. Of these, 102 (37%) patients were identified as having two or more STIs concurrently. Amongst patients having multiple infections, 72% (73/102) were male and male to female ratio was 2.5 : 1. Seventy percent of the patients were married and except one, none reported regular use of condom. Majority of patients (67.64%) were educated till the level of middle school, while 26.47% were illiterate. The age at which patient had first sexual exposure ranged between 13 and 17 years. Also 31.3% patients (all males) had more than three sexual partners in the past 6 months and 76.4% had contact with commercial sex workers (CSWs). In our study group, there were 39 CSW amongst whom 18 had multiple STIs. One such patient was found to be reactive for 5 STI viz HBV, HCV, T. pallidum, HSV-2 and HPV.
A key fact about Aarthi Rao is, she has the rare condition of having 4 STDs, highly contagious and incurable, which spread not just by sexual contact but by mere touch of fluid like saliva or fluid in the blisters. Why is this a key fact?
What is the probability of contracting even 1 STD in life? It could happen through sexual contact with a partner carrying the STD, or it could happen for non-sexual reasons like through a blood transfusion gone wrong.
What is the probability of contracting 2 STDs? Now that probability is exponentially lower than the probability of contracting 1 STD. If it happens, it is most likely possible through sexual contact with two different people having 1 of the STDs each.
Now, what is the probability of contracting 4 STDs? Extremely low for any reason other than the person has had sexual relations with multiple people, some of whom he or she contracted at various times each of the STDs.
Now what does that speak of the character of the person? Point is, she is definitely not a “traditional Indian woman”.
Having 4 STDs and not transmitting the same to the spouse is almost impossible, even though it is a crime as per USA laws to not disclose about the existence of STD to one’s own spouse.
This naturally resulted in marital discord, separation, illicit affairs, and financial problems, especially to upkeep a high class sexually hyper-active life.
With this derivation, it was easy to correlate what otherwise would have been shocking or doubtful information we got from reliable sources, that Aarthi Rao was having illicit sexual relationship with Lenin Karuppan, a volunteer of the Nithyananda Mission in India. And her medical records speak for themselves.
