What is STD?

Sexual contact is the primary method of transmission for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) or sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Often, they are disseminated during anal, oral, or vaginal intercourse. Nonetheless, they can occasionally be transmitted by additional sexual contact with the penis, vagina, mouth, or anus. Many STDs, including herpes and HPV, are transferred through skin-to-skin contact.

Certain STDs can be transmitted from the mother to the fetus during pregnancy or during childbirth. In addition to these methods, STDs can also spread through blood transfusions, sharing of needles, and nursing.

What are the factors that lead to STDs in sexual contact?

Bacteria, viruses, and parasites can all cause STDs.

What signs and symptoms are present with sexually transmitted infections (STDs)?

It's possible that minor symptoms are all an STD would ever produce. Infections can therefore exist and go undetected. Moreover, STDs can still be dangerous and can spread through intercourse even if they have no symptoms.

If there are symptoms, they could include:

• Unusual discharge from the penis or vagina
• Sores or warts on the genital area
• Painful or frequent urination (peeing)
• Itching and redness in the genital area
• Blisters or sores in or around the mouth
• Abnormal vaginal odor
• Anal itching, soreness, or bleeding
• Abdominal painn
• Fever
