Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD'S)


STD's are infections that are transmitted during vaginal, anal, and oral sex. They are very common and many people who have them don't show any unusual symptoms.

Genital herpes: A common sexually transmitted infection marked by genital pain and sores.


Chlamydia: A common, sexually transmitted infection that may not cause symptoms.


Gonorrhea:A sexually transmitted bacterial infection that, if untreated, may cause infertility.


HIV/AIDS:HIV causes AIDS and interferes with the body's ability to fight infections.

How Are Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) Diagnosed?



Some STDs can be diagnosed without any tests at all (for example, pubic lice). Other STDs require a blood test or a sample of any unusual fluid (such as an abnormal discharge from the vagina or the penis for gonorrhea or chlamydia) to be analyzed in a lab to help establish a diagnosis. Some tests are completed while a person waits; other tests require a few days before a person may obtain the results (for example, syphilis).
