Sexual Transmitted Disease
The document discusses sexual transmitted diseases (STDs), including how they are spread, common symptoms, and types. There are three main types of STDs - bacterial, parasitic, and viral. Bacterial STDs include chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis, which can often be cured with antibiotics. Parasitic STDs consist of pubic lice, scabies, and trichomoniasis. Viral STDs contain HPV, hepatitis, herpes, and HIV/AIDS, which have no cure. Abstinence is the only 100% effective way to prevent STDs, but proper condom use can help reduce risk. Getting regularly tested and seeing a doctor if any symptoms
