Advice

Sexually transmitted diseases, often abbreviated to STDs, are actually a bit of a misnomer. Medical professionals prefer the term "sexually transmitted infection", or STI, because many of those who are infected do not show any symptoms.

Types of STDs

There are two common strains of STDs - those caused by bacteria and those caused by a virus. You can cure an STD that is caused by bacteria, while viral infections can only be treated and managed. Both varieties of STDs are much easier to handle if they are detected early and treated quickly.
