Herpes can be spread by vaginal, anal, and oral sex or other sexual contact. There is no cure, but medicine can help make the times when you have sores shorter and less frequent. Next is Gonorrhea which can make you more likely to get HIV if you’re exposed to it. Untreated gonorrhea can cause serious problems which can be the inability to get pregnant, with or without any symptoms. It can spread to the blood, joints, heart, and the brain. Some symptoms anal discharge, anal itching, soreness, bleeding, and painful bowel movements. You can get gonorrhea during vaginal, oral, or anal sex with someone who has it. Gonorrhea can be cured with antibiotics, but some cases can be tougher to treat. Next is Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which is the virus that can cause AIDS. HIV and AIDS weaken the body’s ability to fight infections and diseases. Women and girls with HIV may have no symptoms for years. My uncle was diagnosed with HIV in 2007 and it is the saddest thing to see. My Uncle was one of those people that never showed any emotion but when he was going through the stages and broke down.

    The history of STDs is divided into three distinct sections through different periods of time. The first is the era of antiquity when if STDs did exist, no one was sure of what they were. The second was a period of about five-hundred years when such diseases could be identified, but almost nothing could be done to treat them. In the third, in the 20th century, medical professionals began to devise effective treatments for treating STDs and identifying/preventing different ways it spread (Plumb 1). Until about the 18th century, people had no idea there was more than one STD, and thought all were the same disease. The term for an STD was known as venereal disease (VD). The word “venereal” is from Venus, the Roman goddess of love (Talukdar 2). In ancient Egypt, dating back to about 1600 B.C, th...

    Sexually Transmitted Diseases Sexually Transmitted Diseases STDs, a.k.a venereal diseases, infectious diseases passed from one person to another during sexual contact. STDs are the most common infections known. More than 12 million people in the United States, including 3 million teenagers, are infected with STDs every year. The United States has the highest STD rate in the world about one in ten Americans will contract an STD during his or her lifetime. People who do not know they are infected risk infecting their sexual partners and, in some cases, their unborn children. If left untreated, these diseases may cause pain or may destroy a woman's ability to have children. Some STDs can be cured with a single dose of antibiotics, but AIDS cannot be cured. Those most at risk for contracting STDs are people who have unprotected sex—without using a condom, people who have multiple partners, and people whose sex partners are drug users who share needles. Static’s show that Americans between the ages of 16 and 24 are most likely of catching STDs than older adults, because younger people usually have multiple sexual partners than an older person in a long-term relationship. Teenagers may be embarrassed to tell their sexual partners they are infected Teenagers may also be embarrassed or unable to seek medical attention for STDs. This means that they only more likely to pass the disease to other young people and have a greater risk of suffering the long-term consequences of untreated STDs. STDs are transmitted by infectious bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi, and single-celled organisms called protozoa that live in warm, moist parts of the body, like the genital area, mouth, and throat. Most STDs are spread while having sex, but oral sex can also spread disease. Some STDs are passed from a mother to her child while pregnant, when the disease enters the baby's bloodstream, during childbirth as the baby passes through the birth canal, or after birth, when the baby drinks infected breast milk. AIDS can be transmitted by blood contact such as open wounds, between people who share infected needles or received through an injection of infected blood. Some people believe that STDs can be transmitted through shaking hands or other casual contact, or through contact with inanimate objects such as clothing or toilet seats, but they can’t. Chlamydeous, is from trachoma is bacterium, is the most commonly transmitted STD in the United States.
