STD Health Information

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are infections that can be transmitted through oral, anal, and vaginal sex.

STDs are sometimes called sexually transmitted infections (STIs) because they involve passing a disease-causing microorganism (e.g. bacteria or viruses) to another person during sex.

STDs are among the most common infectious disease in the United States.  Researchers estimate that 13 million Americans become infected with STDs each year.

HIV is the most dangerous STD, as it progresses to AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome), an incurable, and ultimately fatal, disease.

Many other STDs, like syphilis, may also be life threatening if left untreated.
