STD stands for Sexually Transmitted Disease, which is a disease that is spread through sexual behavior like vaginal intercourse, oral sex, anal sex or sometimes intimate skin-to-skin contact. Some types of STDs are Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphilis, Herpes, HPV and HIV.

Many STDs may have no symptoms at all or the signs are so mild that you may not notice. Different STDs have different symptoms. For instance, Syphilis and Herpes victims can experience rashes or open sores in their genital regions. Some STDs like Gonorrhea and Chlamydia can show symptoms like genital discharge and painful urination. Some may not show symptoms at all. However, if you have any of the symptoms described below, you should seek care right away because they may be signs that you have an STD.

• Discharge or unusual fluid that may be white or yellow that comes out of the vagina or penis (not semen).
• An unexplained rash
• A burning sensation when urinating (peeing), going to the bathroom.
• Bumps, sores, blisters, or warts on the genital area – in women this includes the outer and inner lips, vagina and clitoris; in men this includes the penis and testicles.

STD stands for “sexually transmitted disease,” and STI stands for “sexually transmitted infection.” Essentially, the difference is between a disease and an infection. Not all diseases begin with infections, but many do. Sexually transmitted disease first begin as sexually transmitted infections.

There is no way to know for sure without being tested. Many STDs don’t have obvious symptoms. Being sexually active can include vaginal intercourse, anal and/or oral sex. When doctors or nurses ask this question, they are really asking if you’ve done anything since your last check up that might have exposed you to an STD or pregnancy. STD tests should be part of your regular check-up. But, if you have any concerns at all that you may have been exposed to an STD, see a doctor and ask to be tested.

Anyone who has had vaginal, anal or oral sex with a new partner should be tested. Everyone who is sexually active should be tested during regular check-ups. Pregnant women should be tested.

More than 20 million cases of STDs are reported every year as per the CDC reports. The easiest answer is about 1 in 4 young adults have an STD. It could be even more because many people who are infected don’t realize it.

Most STDs are easily curable with antibiotics or other medications. However, if left untreated, STDs like Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphilis and the like can lead to life-threatening issues. There is no cure for HIV or Hepatitis yet.

There are many things you can do to reduce your chances of getting an STD.

• Have sex with only one other person whom you trust. Having sexual contact only with someone who is not infected means that you won’t get an STD from them and they won’t get one from you. 
• Use condoms. Used correctly every time you have sex, latex or polyurethane condoms can be very good protection against many STDs. 
• Have fewer partners. The more people you have sex with, the greater your chances of getting an STD. Go with new partners to get tested. 
• Don’t mix drugs and alcohol with sex. Getting drunk or high can affect your ability to make smart decisions about sex. 
• Don’t use IV street drugs and never share needles. Many STDs are transmitted through blood. 
• Don’t have sex. Abstinence is the surest way to avoid getting an STD.
