Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) also known as venereal diseases (VD). STDs are infections that are transmitted from one person to another via sexual contact including vaginal intercourse, anal sex, oral sex etc.
STD infections have been around for thousands of years. Genital areas are generally moist and warm and hence produce a suitable environment for the growth of yeasts, bacteria and viruses. STDs spread through semen, vaginal secretions, or blood during sexual intercourse.
STDs can affect both men and women, but mostly the health problems they cause are more severe for women. Pregnant woman with STD can cause serious health problems for the baby as well.
