Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are infections that spread through sexual contact. They can affect anyone who is sexually active, regardless of age, gender, or sexual orientation. STDs can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites, and they can manifest in various ways, including genital sores, discharge, itching, and pain during urination or sex.

Common STDs include chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, genital herpes, HPV (human papillomavirus), HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), and trichomoniasis. Some STDs can be treated and cured with antibiotics, while others, such as HIV and herpes, are incurable but manageable with proper medical care.

Prevention of STDs primarily involves practicing safe sex, which includes using condoms consistently and correctly, getting vaccinated against certain infections like HPV, and limiting sexual partners. Regular testing for STDs is also crucial, especially for those who are sexually active or have multiple partners, to ensure early detection and treatment, which can prevent long-term health complications and reduce the risk of spreading the infection to others.
