Basic Information

  • The following information will provide a general understanding of STDs.  Listed below are the signs to watch for, how they are contracted, and what happens if you don't get treatment.
  • What are STDs?  STDs are diseases/germs that are passed mainly during sex.  These germs are passed in blood, semen, vaginal fluid, and through breaks in the skin.  STDs are sometimes painful, and they can cause serious health problems.  Some can infect your sexual and reproductive organs, while others cause general body infections.  ALL IT TAKES IS ONE TIME WITH AN INFECTED PERSON TO GET AN STD.

If you think you might have a STD:

Simple tests can show if you have a STD. DON'T WAIT!

If you think it will go away, think again! IT WON'T!

Most STDs can be treated with antibiotics; follow your doctor's direction and be sure to use all of your medicine.

Above all, your sex partner(s) must be told they have been exposed to an infection.  If they are not treated, they can spread the disease, and you may get it again!

DON'T HAVE SEX UNTIL YOU HAVE A CHECKUP.
