Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are infections transmitted during sexual contact.
STDs can be transmitted during any type of sexual activity.
Some STDs can be cured with a course of antibiotics, while others persist and are not curable

1. Chlamydia
Chlamydia is a bacterial infection (Chlamydia trachomatis) that is common in young adults who are sexually active.
Both men and women can be infected, and many of those infected do not have any signs or symptoms.

When it does cause symptoms in men symptoms of urethritis are the most common
It can also cause infection of the epididymis and testes
It can be cured with antibiotics such as azithromycin. However reinfection can occur especially when sex partners of an infected arenβt treated

2. Gonorrhea (Enziku)
Like chlamydia, gonorrhea is a bacterial infection that may not always cause signs and symptoms and can remain undiagnosed.
Also similarly, gonorrhea can cause urethritis in men leading to burning or pain on urination and discharge from the urethra.
Like chlamydia, gonorrhea is a bacterial infection that may not always cause signs and symptoms and can remain undiagnosed.
Also similarly, gonorrhea can cause urethritis in men leading to burning or pain on urination and discharge from the urethra.
It is caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae bacteria and when symptoms do occur they develop about 4-8 days after contracting the infection
Gonorrhea can also cause infection in the rectum and in the throat.
Moreover, it is possible for gonorrhea to spread within the body (systemic)

3. Genital herpes
The herpes simplex viruses (HSVs) cause painful blistering sores on sexually exposed areas of the body.
Typically, the HSV type 1 (HSV-1) causes cold sores around the mouth, while the HSV type 2 (HSV-2) causes genital herpes, but both types of HSV are capable.

Typically, the HSV type 1 (HSV-1) causes cold sores around the mouth, while the HSV type 2 (HSV-2) causes genital herpes, but both types of HSV are capable.
The lesions caused by HSV typically take the form of painful blisters that eventually open, forming ulcers, and then crust over.
In men, the sores can be found on the penis, scrotum, buttocks, anus, inside the urethra, or on the skin of the thighs.

4. Genital warts (HPV)
Human papillomavirus infection (HPV) is a very common STD.
Different types of HPV exist and cause different conditions. Some HPVs cause common warts that are not STDs, and other types are spread during sexual activity and cause genital warts.

Different types of HPV exist and cause different conditions. Some HPVs cause common warts that are not STDs, and other types are spread during sexual activity and cause genital warts.
Still other types are the cause of precancerous chances and cancers of the cervix in women
Most people with HPV infection do not develop genital warts or cancers, and the body is often able to clear the infection on its own.
Extensive form (Condyloma accuminata)- Ekinanansi

Extensive form (Condyloma accuminata)- Ekinanansi
It is currently believed that over 75% of sexually active people have been infected at some point in life
When HPV causes genital warts in men the lesions appear as soft fleshy, raised bumps on the penis or anal area. They may be larger and take on a cauliflower like appearance

There is no cure for HPV infection, but it often resolves on its own.
Treatments to destroy or remove genital warts are also available.
Vaccines are available for boys and girls that confer immunity to the most common HPV types.

5. Syphilis
Syphilis is a bacterial infection caused by Treponema pallidum bacteria
If not treated, the disease progresses through three phases and can also persist in a latent state
The initial manifestation is a painless ulcer known as a chancre at the site of sexual contact.

The initial manifestation is a painless ulcer known as a chancre at the site of sexual contact.
The chancre develops 10-90 days after infection and resolves after-to 6 weeks
Syphilis can be treated with antibiotics but if this first stage is untreated, secondary syphilis can develop were thereβs spread to many organs
Fortunately, syphilis is curable with proper treatment

After this stage, some people will have a latent infection for years, after which tertiary syphilis develops
Tertiary syphilis can cause different conditions including brain infection, the development of nodules known as gummas, aortic aneurysm, loss of sight, and deafness.

6. Trichomoniasis
In men, the infection is most commonly found inside the penis (urethra).
During sex, the parasite usually spreads from a penis to a vagina, or from a vagina to a penis
It can also spread from a vagina to another vagina. It is not common to infect other parts

7. Donovanosis
Granuloma inguinale (donovanosis) is a genital ulcerative disease caused by the bacterium Klebsiella granulomatis
The infection begins with the appearance of relatively painless nodules that break down into shallow, sharply demarcated ulcers with a beefy-red base

8. Chancroid
Chancroid is caused by the bacterium Haemophilus ducreyi and results in painful, superficial ulcers, often with regional lymphadenopathy
It is a highly contagious but curable disease and strongly affiliated to HIV infection
