Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) are infections that are passed usually through sexual contact. STDs are also termed as Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) or venereal disease. A person usually contracts STD through unprotected vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Usage of condoms usually reduces chances of getting STDs greatly. It can also be transmitted through breast-feeding and sharing needles. STDs could be caused by bacterias, viruses or parasites. Bacterial and parasitic infections can be treated by antibiotics but there is no cure for a viral STD. For viral disease, medications are given to keep the symptoms and disease under control. | |||
