Common Questions

What is STD?
A sexually transmitted disease (STD) is an infection that spreads primarily through sexual contact, including vaginal, oral, and anal intercourse. STDs can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites and may lead to various health complications if left untreated. Some common STDs include chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, HPV, and HIV/AIDS. While some STDs show noticeable symptoms, others can remain asymptomatic, making regular STD testing essential for early detection and treatment.
How Can a Person Contract an STD?
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are primarily spread through various sexual activities, but they can also be transmitted via infected blood transfusions, shared needles, or from mother to child during pregnancy. Despite being one of the most rapidly growing health concerns globally, many individuals hesitate to seek medical care due to stigma, leading to untreated infections. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over 1 million new STD cases are reported every day worldwide.
What Are the Symptoms of STDs?
STD symptoms can vary in type, duration, and severity, depending on the infection-causing organism. However, many STDs share similar signs, making proper diagnosis essential. It’s important to note that some STDs may not show any symptoms at all. Studies indicate that 75% of women and 50% of men with chlamydia experience no symptoms, highlighting the importance of regular STD testing for early detection and treatment.
