Sexually Transmitted Diseases

Overview

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are contracted by having vaginal, oral, or anal sexual contact with an already infected individual. STDs can cause minor health problems to life threatening disease, especially in women and infants. Some possible issues can include: pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, cervical cancer and HIV infection.

There are over 20 different kinds of STDs which are caused either by bacteria or viruses. Those caused by bacteria can usualy be treated with prescribed antibiotics (although antibiotic resistance is making this more difficult) while those caused by viruses are treatable, but usually incurable. Some incurable STDs include: genital herpes, genital warts, HPV and HIV/AIDS.

The only way to ensure non-transmission of an STD, is to refrain from sexual contact and activity. If you are sexually active, you can greatly reduce your risk by practicing “safe sex” for every sexual encounter. This means using a condom every time, knowing your own and your partner’s STD status and having regular STD screenings and check-ups.
