If you must have intercourse, make sure that you always wear a condom. Some people think that condoms will not provide enough of a feeling when having sex, but having a loss of feeling is better than having a disease. If you do get an STD, the test for males can be very painful. You will also be given a shot and a round of antibiotics. For women and girls, a STD can cause pain when they urinate. It can also cause cramps in the stomach. Using a condom will help to ward off any chance of you getting an STD. Sexually transmitted deasease are not only transmitted through sex. You can also get cold sores, which is a form of herpes. The way to avoid one of these diseases is to make sure you are not sharing a drink with people. If you do share, make sure to use a straw.

Features

The top three deasease that you can get are Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, and Syphilis. Out of the three Chlamydia is the most treatable, but can usually present with little or no symptoms. Symptoms in females will include pain when urinating, vaginal itching and a discharge. Having these symptoms does not mean you have Chlamydia you could have another infection. Gonorrhea also known as the clap is a bacterial infection. Men will get a discharge from their penis. Gonorrhea can also infect the throat and treatment will depend on where gonorrhea is located. Having gonorrhea in the throat makes it harder to treat. Most people will have to go back within three months to be checked again and see if they are clear of the deasease. Syphilis if left untreated can cause serious complications to the one infected. It also increases your risk of getting HIV/AIDS.
