STIs, STDs and Treatment
Sexually transmitted infections are common in people
worldwide and can be bacterial or viral in nature. Sexually transmitted
infections (STIs) or sexually transmitted infections (STDs) are common among
sexually active men and women. STDs and STDs can have short-term or long-term
effects on your pregnancy and baby.
A person can become infected with an STD by having
vaginal, anal, or oral sex with someone who has an STD. Anyone who is sexually
active can have STD. The person can suffer from STDs without having anal or
vaginal sex because some STDs, like herpes and HPVs, are transmitted through
skin-to-skin contact.
What is sexually transmitted
infection?
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are infections
that are transmitted from an infected person to a healthy person through sexual
contact. STDs are caused because of bacteria, viruses, or parasites. Examples
of STDs include gonorrhea, genital herpes, chlamydia, human, papillomavirus
infection, HIV/AIDS, and syphilis.
STI Vs STD
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are diseases
transmitted primarily through sexual contact. The term STD can be used
interchangeably with sexually transmitted infections (STIs). An STI is an infectious
disease and is usually transmitted through sexual contact that may or may not
show symptoms making it a sexually transmitted disease (STD). There are 8
pathogens linked to the greatest incidence of STIs such as-
·
Human
Papillomavirus (HPV)
·
Herpes
·
Syphilis
·
Hepatitis
·
Gonorrhea
·
Chlamydia
·
Trichomoniasis
·
Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
Many STDs don't cause symptoms that you may notice.
The only way to know whether you have STD is to get tested. Having sex with
someone who doesn't have symptoms can give you an STD. Four of STDs are
currently curable - syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis. The
other 4 types are incurable. Maaya Specialty Hospitals provides the best sexually
