Sexually Transmitted Diseases/Infections (STDs/STIs) are a major issue for anyone who is sexually active - some are non-curable and some even lethal! This section contains information on viruses or bacteria that are spread by, or a direct or indirect consequence of, having sexual relations with other individuals.
If you have any symptoms or believe you might have an STD, please see a physician immediately. A medical doctor will be able to diagnose your condition, give you accurate information, and prescribe correct medication to deal with any problem you may have. For information on what to expect when you go for a check-up please read the STD Testing article in the Sexual Health section.
When participating in sexual activities with a new partner it is absolutely crucial to use a form of protection that will help minimize the likelihood of contracting an STD. Please see the Birth Control section for different forms of protection.
