Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), or sexually transmitted infections (STIs), are infections that are passed from one person to another through sexual contact. The contact is usually vaginal, oral, or anal sex. But sometimes they can spread through intimate physical contact. This is because some STDs, like herpes and HPV, are spread by skin-to-skin contact.
The common STDs
- Bacterial Vaginosis (BV)
- Chlamydia.
- Gonorrhea.
- Hepatitis.
- Herpes.
- HIV/AIDS & STDs.
- Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
- Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)
But...what are the symptoms?
STDs don't always cause symptoms or may only cause mild symptoms. So it is possible to have an infection and not know it. But you can still pass it on to others.
If there are symptoms, they could include:
- Unusual discharge from the penis or vagina
