symptoms.
1. AIDS and HIV
Transmitted through- AIDS and HIV are two more or less related diseases.
The HIV stands for the human immunodeficiency virus and the disease that
spreads through it is known as AIDS i.e., acquired immune deficiency
syndrome. HIV travels through blood. It can be transmitted from one HIV
positive person to his partner through sex. It can also pass on from the HIV
positive mother to her child through infected breast milk and even from an
infected syringe or other equipment that come into contact with the blood of
the HIV positive to any other individual who is treated with the same
devices.
Symptoms- weak immune system and susceptible to more infections than
usual. HIV gets translated to AIDS when the HIV patient acquires a
particular indicative illness.
Preventive Measures- not much available yet. But avoid taking drugs.
Maintain hygiene.
2. Chlamydia
Infected via- the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis is the cause of this
infection. Once this bacterium enters the individuals body it affects his
mucous membranes, eyelids and even reproductive tissues.

STD called Gonorrhea and even with Conjunctivitis due to eyelid infection.

genital tract and reproductive organs including ovaries, uterus and fallopian
tubes.

most often responsible for this disease. Women between 15 to 25 years of
age are more prone to be infected by it. Excess douching can also lead to
PID for it cleanses the naturally beneficial bacteria from the women’s
vagina.

individual can acquire this disease through all types of sexual contacts like
oral sex.

more difficult to adjudicate it and so stop it from being transmitted from one
to the other person through sex. Symptoms are akin to Chlamydia so the

two diseases are liable to be confused with each other. A person suffering
from Gonorrhea experiences unusual discharge, burning, pain during
sexual activity, swelling, fever and other infections like women may have
bleeding between periods.
Remedies and Safety- treatment should commence in initial stages to cure
Gonorrhea. Those who are pretty active in their sexual life should get
checkups done on a regular basis to be on a safer side.

Hepatitis, Scabies, Herpes, Syphilis, HPV etc. which are most common in

Things you should know to protect from STD
According to a recent poll carried out by Durex, 47% of all adults worldwide
have had sex with someone without checking on their partner’s sexual
history – 48% of men and 45% of women. 65% of 45-55 year old have had
unprotected sex, compared to 33% of 16-20 year old.
Most of the women die of poor reproductive health as a result of unwanted
pregnancies or because of sexually transmitted diseases. Sexually
transmitted disease, as the term indicates is any sort of venereal disease
caused due to sexual intercourse or other sexual intact. The microbes
which cause STDs are just opportunity bugs that don’t consider any gender
or sex but only require a warm body. In women, STDs often lead to
infertility, miscarriage, infection among the newborn or premature birth of
the child.

You should know the below mentioned facts to protect yourselves from
sexually transmitted diseases.
1. STD easily spreads when there is any transfer of bodily fluids such as
semen, vaginal secretions or blood from any person to another.
2. If a person has any sort of sexually transmitted disease and some other
person has sex with that infected person, he or she is the quickest victim of
STD. This is the reason why one should avoid having multiple partners or
any monogamous relationship where one person is carrying an infection
from a prior sexual encounter.
3. Sexually transmitted diseases are very contagious so if a woman has
sex with his partner who is already infected with gonorrhea (a kind of STD)
then she holds a chance of 80 to 90 percent of getting the disease. In case
her partner carries two diseases namely gonorrhea and Chlamydia, she
could be infected with both of them at the same time.
4. Vaginal intercourse carries the highest STD infections but other routes
such as anal sex, oral sex or sexual abuse of children and mother to baby
infection during child birth are also causes for such diseases.
5. STDs weakens the immune system and therefore if a person is infected
with such disease, he or she has more chances of getting other infections.
Even if a person recovers from a sexually transmitted disease, he or she
has a weak immune system.
6. STD among women is not much obvious as compared to men which
show clear symptoms of the disease. As such the problem could be
misdiagnosed among women.

7. Most of the times, it happens that women are infected with such
diseases but since the symptoms are not clear they unknowingly infect
other sexual partner.
8. Men are secretly bisexual and as such they could easily pick up an STD
from any homosexual encounter and pass it to an unsuspecting
heterosexual partner.
9. Lesbians are less likely to have STDs as sexually transmitted infections
are not easily spread from woman to woman.
