Sexually Transmitted Diseases
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are diseases passed between people when they have sexual contact. STDs are very common. But in many cases STDs do not cause symptoms, so people don’t know they have one. The most common STDs can be treated easily and cured. Other STDs cannot be cured, but symptoms can be managed.
