Introduction to Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs)

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) or infections (STIs) are medical conditions that are spread through sexual contact, including anal, vaginal, and oral sex, via bodily fluids such as semen, vaginal fluids, blood, or other bodily fluids. STDs are caused by viruses, bacteria, or parasites. They can also be transmitted through a contaminated blade or needle if infected bodily fluids come into contact with an open cut or sore. Common STDs include Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, Syphilis, HIV/AIDs, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis.

Types of Sexually Transmitted Diseases

Gonorrhoea

Gonorrhea: This bacterial infection is caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and it can be transmitted through vaginal, anal, or oral sex with an infected partner. Symptoms usually appear within 1-10 days of exposure and can include a white, yellow, or green discharge from the penis or vagina, painful urination, and swollen testicles in men. In women, the symptoms can be mild or even absent, but they may include vaginal bleeding between periods or after sex, pelvic pain, and pain during sex. Gonorrhea can be easily cured with antibiotics, but untreated gonorrhea can lead to serious complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, and an increased risk of contracting HIV infection.

Syphilis

This bacterial infection is caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum and is usually transmitted through sexual contact. Syphilis has four stages: primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary. In the primary stage, a painless sore or chancre appears at the site of infection. In the secondary stage, a rash may develop on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet, and flu-like symptoms such as fever and fatigue may occur. The latent stage has no symptoms, but the bacteria remain in the body. In the tertiary stage, which can occur years after infection, the infection can damage the heart, brain, and other organs. Syphilis can be treated with antibiotics, but untreated syphilis can lead to serious complications such as blindness, deafness, and even death.

Chlamydia

This bacterial infection is caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis and is one of the most common STDs. It can be transmitted through vaginal, anal, or oral sex with an infected partner. Most people with chlamydia have no symptoms, but when they do occur, they can include a white, yellow, or green discharge from the penis or vagina, painful urination, and abdominal pain. Chlamydia can be easily cured with antibiotics, but untreated chlamydia can lead to serious complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, and an increased risk of contracting HIV.

HIV/AIDS

This viral infection attacks the immune system and can be transmitted through sexual contact, sharing needles, or from mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding. Symptoms of HIV infection can be flu-like and include fever, fatigue, and swollen lymph nodes. HIV can lead to AIDS if left untreated, which can cause life-threatening infections and cancers. HIV can be managed with antiretroviral therapy, but there is currently no cure for HIV.

Herpes

This viral infection is caused by the herpes simplex virus and can be transmitted through sexual contact. Herpes can cause painful sores or blisters on the genitals, mouth, or anus, and can also cause flu-like symptoms such as fever and swollen lymph nodes. There is no cure for herpes, but antiviral medications can help to manage outbreaks and reduce the risk of transmission.

Human Papillomavirus (HPV)

This viral infection is caused by the human papillomavirus and can be transmitted through sexual contact. HPV can cause genital warts, and certain types of HPV can increase the risk of certain types of cancer, including cervical cancer. There is currently no cure for HPV, but there is a vaccine available that can prevent certain types of HPV.

Hepatitis B

This viral infection is caused by the hepatitis B virus and can be transmitted through sexual contact, sharing needles, or from mother to child during childbirth. Symptoms of hepatitis B can include fever, fatigue, and jaundice. Chronic hepatitis B can lead to liver damage and liver cancer.

STDs can cause a range of symptoms, including burning upon urination, sores or rashes in or around the genitals, buttocks, or abdomen, unusual discharge from the penis or vagina, specifically smelly and discolored, itching in or around the genital area or rectum, pain during intercourse, and fever.
