A sexually transmitted disease is an infection passed from one person to another through sexual contact, including vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Some can also spread through blood or from mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding.

What are the most common STDs?

The most common STDs include chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, genital herpes, hepatitis B and C, and HIV/AIDS.

What symptoms should I look for?

Possible symptoms include pain or burning when urinating, unusual genital discharge, sores, blisters, or rash in the genital area, lower abdominal or pelvic pain, and fever or fatigue. Many STDs can be present without symptoms.

How are STDs diagnosed?

Diagnosis may involve blood tests, urine tests, or swabs from the genital area or throat.

Some STDs, such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis, can be cured with antibiotics. Others, like herpes and HIV, cannot be cured but can be managed effectively with medication.

How can I prevent an STD?

Prevention steps include using condoms every time you have sex, getting regular STD screenings, having a mutually monogamous relationship with an uninfected partner, and avoiding needle sharing.

What should I do if I think I have an STD?

Seek medical attention promptly. Early diagnosis and treatment protect your health and help prevent spreading the infection to others.
