Ailments and Situations - Sexually Transmitted Disease or STD - Causes and What to Expect

 

Causes:

In each case, specific causes depend on the disease. All STD's are transmitted primarily (but not exclusively) via unprotected sexual contact.

 
What to Expect:

Outcomes vary with different conditions; some are minor and resolve quickly with appropriate medical care while others such as herpes are lifelong and recurrent. Yet other STD's, such as syphilis, may result in serious consequences.
