Sexually transmitted diseases (STD), sometimes called sexually transmitted infection (STI) or venereal disease (VD) are infections that are commonly spread by sex, especially vaginal intercourse, anal sex and MouthAction.

6 Things You Should Know About Sexually Transmitted Diseases

This does not mean necessarily mean that sex is the only way that STDs can be transmitted it’s important to learn what you can do to protect yourself.

Symptoms and signs of disease include, penile discharge, ulcers on or around the genitals, pelvic pain and vaginal discharge.

STDs are serious health issues and if left untreated, it can cause permanent damage, such as infertility and even death.

Not all infections in the genitals are caused by STDs. Sometimes people get symptoms that seem very close to that of STDs, even though they’ve never had sex. For ladies, a yeast infection can easily be confused with an STD. Men may worry about bumps on the penis that turn out to be pimples or irritated hair follicles.

Here are 6 important things you should know about STDs:

1. STDs is not only spread sexual intercourse. Some STDs, like herpes or genital warts, are spread through skin-to-skin contact with an infected area or sore.

2. The infection can also spread through oral or anal sex, because the viruses or bacteria that cause STDs can enter the body through tiny cuts or tears in the mouth and anus, as well as the genitals.

3. It spreads easily because you can’t tell whether someone has it or not. Some people with STDs don’t even know that they have them. These people are in danger of passing an infection on to their sex partners without even realizing it.

4. Sexual activity at a young age increases ones chances of becoming infected with an STD.

5. People who have sexual contact with multiple partners without protection are more at risk than those who stay with the same partner.

6. Latex condoms are the only form of birth control that reduce your risk of getting an STD, and must be used every time.

As with many other diseases, prevention is the best. It is much easier to prevent STDs than to treat them. The only way to completely prevent STDs is to abstain from all types of sexual contact.

People who are sexually active or are planning to should get regular gynecological or male genital examinations. The reason is that regular exams give doctors more opportunities to check for STDs while they are in their earliest, most treatable stage.

My friend, we discuss only the cluelessness, stupidity & impending + inevitable failure and disgrace of Jonathan & his cabals here in the Politic section.

You should have posted this in the Romance & Sexuality sections for those amorous boys & girls who are just learning and practicing cunnilingus & fallatio.
