Sexually
transmitted disease (STD) is used to refer a condition which passes
from one person to another through sexual contact. A person can come
in contact of sexually transmitted disease by having unprotected
vaginal, anal or oral sex with someone who has the STD. STD may
also be transmitted through sharing needles and breastfeeding (e.g.
HIV).
Some
STD can be passed from a mother to baby before or during the birth.
because of passing the infection through the placenta or birth
canal. e.g.
Syphilis
is a bacterial infection. It is caused by Treponema
pallidum bacteria.
The
first symptom to syphilis is the appearance of small round sore known
as a chancre. It can develop on genitals, anus or mouth. It is
painless but very infectious.
AIDS
is a viral infection. It is caused by the Human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HIV can damage the immune
system and raise the risk of another type of infection.
