The following information is about Std (Sexually Transmitted Disease).
Std (Sexually Transmitted Disease) Defined
An INFECTION that is passed from one person to another through sexual contact. This could happen during unprotected oral, anal or vaginal sex or other close contact with another person. STDs are caused by germs like bacteria and viruses which like to grow in warm, moist places of people's bodies. Many times there are no symptoms so people do not even know if they have one. Even if a person doesn't know they have a STD they can still give the germs to someone else. Many STDs can harm the body permanently without showing symptoms. Women and girls might not be able to have children. Some STDs can be passed on to the fetus during pregnancy. Some can cause death. STDs do not go away by themselves. People shouldn't wait too long to get checked. Some diseases have cures but others don't. There are about 30 different kinds of SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES. Most birth control does not protect a person from the germs of STDs. Some of these include the pill, withdrawal, sterilization, and spermicide. Only latex condoms can reduce the risk of getting an STD.
