Explanation:
STD is an acronym for sexually transmitted disease and it can be defined as diseases that are easily transmissible or contractable from another person through sexual intercourse. Thus, STD spread from an infected person to an uninfected person while engaging in unprotected sexual intercourse. Some examples of STDs are gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, HPV, etc.
Generally, contracting STDs has a detrimental effect to a patient because it causes an opening (break) or sore in the body of the carrier (patient) and as such making them vulnerable to diseases that are spread through bodily fluids e.g human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), Hepatitis, staphylococcus, AIDS, etc.
1. Syphilis: can cause sores, rashes, dementia, or blindness.
2. Gonorrhea: can cause burning urination and infertility
3. Chlamydia: similar to gonorrhea but more likely to be carried unknowingly
4. Trichomoniasis: parasitic STD causing genital irritation and mild discharge.
5. Crabs: pubic lice that cause itching.
6. Genital herpes: untreatable STD causing periodic outbreaks of blisters
7. HPV: can cause genital warts or cervical cancer. HPV is an abbreviation for human papillomavirus and it's a virus that causes most common sexually transmitted infection, giving rise to skin or mucous membrane growths (warts).
