Sexually Transmitted Diseases or Sexually Transmitted Infections (STD or STI)
Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) or Sexually Transmitted Infections are caused by infections that are passed from one person to another during sexual contact, using infected needles, childbirth or breastfeeding.
These infections sometimes do not show any symptoms, so an infected person may not be aware that he or she is infected and may pass this infection to another person unknowingly.
There are many kinds of sexually transmitted diseases and infections, for example, Chlamydia, Herpes, Syphilis, Gonorrhea, HPV and HIV.
Although STD may lead to serious complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), infertility, or death, there are many prevention methods and managements. Early detection and early treatment can lower the risk of other complications and prevent the spread of these infections to other people.
