    Sexually transmitted diseases can cause serious health problems if left untreated. Chlamydia and gonorrhea can lead to infertility or ectopic pregnancy in women. Syphilis progresses through stages and can ultimately cause problems with organs and tissues. HPV is spread through skin-to-skin contact and can potentially cause cancers, though vaccines exist to prevent this. HSV, HIV, and other STDs increase the risk of contracting other infections and can be passed from mother to child during birth if untreated. Many STDs are transmitted through sexual fluids and contact but precautions can reduce transmission risk.

    Sexually Transmitted Diseases

    HIV attacks the immune system making the


    body more prone to infections and diseases.
    Chlamydia can cause permanent damage to
    a woman's reproductive system. This can
    make it difficult or impossible to get
    pregnant later. Chlamydia can also cause a
    potentially fatal ectopic pregnancy
    (pregnancy that occurs outside the womb).
    Gonorrhea in women, can spread into the uterus or fallopian
    tubes and cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). It can lead to
    internal abscesses and chronic pelvic pain. PID can also damage
    the fallopian tubes enough to cause infertility or increase the risk
    of ectopic pregnancy.
    In men, it may be complicated by epididymitis. In rare cases, this
    may lead to infertility.
    If left untreated, it can also spread to the blood and cause
    disseminated gonococcal infection (DGI). DGI is usually
    characterized by arthritis, tenosynovitis, and/or dermatitis. This
    condition can be life threatening.
    Syphilis in the primary stage of infection, you may have one or
    more painless sores on the genitals or in the mouth, anus, or
    rectum. The name for this type of sore is a chancre. The sore is
    likely to be wherever you had sex. If you had oral sex, it might be
    in your mouth or on your genitals. It does not hurt, so you might
    not even notice you have a sore unless you look for it. The sore
    lasts 3 to 6 weeks, and it heals on its own. If you don’t get
    treatment, the disease will progress to the next stage. In tertiary
    stage, this may include difficulty moving your arms and legs,
    paralysis, numbness, blindness, and heart disease.
    Chancroid (shangkroid)
    Raised and painful bumps on the skin of your
    genitals.
    Ulcers with ragged soft edges that develop from
    these bumps.
    Reddened and shiny skin on the sores.
    Leakage of pus and infectious fluid.
    Spreading and connecting of these sores into
    larger areas.
    HPV has many different types. Some types can cause
    health problems, including genital warts and cancers,
    including cancer of the vulva, vagina, penis, anus or
    back of the throat (called oropharyngeal cancer). But
    there are vaccines that can stop these health
    problems from happening. In most cases (9 out of 10),
    this STD goes away on its own within two years
    without health problems. But when it does not go
    away, it can cause health problems like genital warts
    and cancer.
    HSV is a common infection that can cause painful
    blisters or ulcers. It is treatable but not curable.
    If STDs are left untreated these increases your risks of
    becoming infected with the human immunodeficiency
    virus (HIV) if you’re exposed to the virus.
    HIV is a lot harder to catch than you think.
    You can only get it when certain fluids (blood,
    semen or vaginal secretions, rectal fluids, and
    breastmilk) from someone who's infected get
    into your body. The virus can enter your body
    through mouth sores or small tears that
    sometimes develop in the rectum or vagina
    during sexual activity.
    Chlamydia infection is carried in semen (cum),
    pre-cum, and vaginal fluids. Skin-to-skin
    genital contact is a well-recognized method of
    spreading this STD, as well as infected sperm
    or vaginal fluid coming in contact with the
    eyes.
    Gonorrhea is transmitted through sexual
    contact with the penis, vagina, mouth, or
    anus of an infected partner. Ejaculation does
    not have to occur for it to be transmitted or
    acquired. It can also be spread from mother to
    baby during childbirth.
    You can get syphilis when your mouth,
    genitals, or another part of your body touches
    an infected sore on a person who has the
    disease. If you are pregnant, you can pass this
    on to your baby even if you don’t know you
    are infected.
    Chancroids is spread by sexual contact with an
    infected individual. The bacteria are more likely to
    invade the sexual organs at the point of a pre-
    existing injury, such as a small cut or scratch.
    HPV lives in thin, flat cells called epithelial cells
    (epithelial cells are a type of cell that covers the inside
    and outside of the surfaces of your body. They are found
    on your skin, blood vessels, and organs, including your
    urinary tract). These are found on the skin's surface.
    They're also found on the surface of the vagina, anus,
    vulva, cervix and head of the penis. They're also found
    inside the mouth and throat.
    HSV primarily spreads by skin-to-skin contact.
    Trich spreads during sexual intercourse — in semen
    (cum) and vaginal fluids. Its name comes from the
    parasite.
