10 Important Facts About Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) & Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI)


1. WHAT ARE SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES (STDS)?

Sexually transmitted diseases are diseases that can be passed from person to person through sexual contact. In this case sexual contact means penis-vagina penetration, oral sex which is sexual contact using the mouth, and insertion of the penis into the rectum which is anal sex. Some of these diseases may be transmitted by exchange of sexual fluids such as semen or vaginal discharge. Some of the STD's result in open sores, and it can be spread by contact with skin of someone else. There are also ways to transmit these diseases in a non sexual way, an infected pregnant woman can either give it to her baby during pregnancy, or when the baby is being delivered. Drug abusers can transmit the disease through sharing hypodermic needles that have been used by an infected person. The seriousness of STD's varies, some are cured easily by drugs, others need a combination of treatments and drugs, whilst others have no cure, and the only option is treatment.

2. WHAT ARE SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED IINFECTIONS (STI's)?

Any infection that is usually passed through sexual contact.

3. ARE THE TWO WORDS INTERCHANGEABLE?

Fifteen years ago both these categories came under one name Venereal Disease (VD). To distinguish between them they were separated into infections (STI) and diseases(STD). Infection means that a germ, bacteria, parasite or virus is present in the body. An infected person does not necessarily have any symptoms, which means that they do not usually feel ill..A disease is any abnormal condition of the body or mind that causes

discomfort, dysfunction, or distress, in other words your body tells you that you are unwell. This means that STI covers a wider range than the term STD. STD refers only to infections that are causing problems. Because most of the time, people don't know they are infected with an STI until they start showing symptoms of disease, the AIDS Resource Center uses the term STD, even though the term STI is also appropriate in many cases.

Let's see if we can simply un-muddy the waters here. Genital herpes has two states when the blisters are present and when they are absent. When they are

present they are causing symptoms, ie the blisters, at this stage it is an STD, and it is that this stage that the infection is most likely to be spread to another

person.When the blisters are absent then there are no symptoms, and this is then an STI, and the likelihood of an infection is reduced. However, HIV can be

an infection, in the sense that there may be no symptoms, when they develop symptoms then they have AIDS which is an STD. However it is important to

remember that HIV infection can be spread at any time.

4.WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STD'S AND HIV?

A person who is already infected with STD, has a higher risk of contracting HIV if they have unprotected sex, without a condom. This risk is greater if the STD causes open genital sores, as these wounds provide a break in the skin which enables the HIV infection to enter the blood stream. STDs that can

cause genital ulcers include genital herpes, syphilis, chancre, gonorrhoea, trichomoniasis, and scabies.

5.WHY IS IT DIFFICULT TO RECOGNIZE THAT YOU MAY HAVE A STD?

First of all the majority of the people with STD have no immediate symptoms and when they do have them it can be misleading to diagnose as the

symptoms can be confused with non sexual diseases. Please note that this applies much more to women than men.

6. WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON SYMPTOMS FOR WOMEN WHEN THEY ARE SUFFERING FROM AN STD?

unusual or bad-smelling vaginal discharge,

severe itching or burning in the genital area,

unusual bleeding,

pain in the pelvic region,

pain during sex,

rashes on the genitals,

open sores or warts on the genital area, and/or recurrent urinary tract infections.

7. WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON SYMPTOMS FOR MEN WHEN THEY ARE SUFFERING FROM AN STD?

In men, the most common symptoms of STD are:

pain when urinating,

open sores or warts on the genital are

genital rash

discharge from the penis, and/or pain in the scrotum/testicles.

8. WHAT ARE THE OTHER SYMPTOMS NOT CONNECTED TO THE GENITALS?

The following symptoms are present in both men and women:

discharge from the anus,

swelling of the groin,

jaundice (yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes),

oral thrush (white tongue),

arthritis,

sores or bumps in and around the mouth, and

generalized rashes.

9 CAN I CONTRACT STI AS A RESULT OF MUTUAL MASTERBATION?

Yes you can and listed below are some examples:

Bacterial Vaginosis

Cytomegalovirus (CMV)

Herpes Simplex

Human Papilloma Virus (HPV, Warts)

Pubic Lice

Scabies

10. CAN I PREVENT GETTING STI or STD?

The only foolproof way is abstinence from sex. A condom merely reduces the risk, and it must be used every time, before any sexual fluids are exchanged.

Learn About STDs And Love Will Not Hurt


STDs are extremely dangerous especially for women, taking into consideration that at a moment in their life they are responsible for two, or even more persons that means when they are pregnant. On the one hand, STDs can lead to uterine cervix cancer or they can be transmitted to the baby while giving birth or after birth. The bad news is that a person can catch more STDs in the same time.

First, a popular STD is Chlamydia infection. It is caused by a bacteria and it usually does not develop any symptoms. However, there can be noticed vagina or penis discharges, pain, or burning feeling while urinating. It is very unpleasant but it can be treated.

Genital herpes has viral origin. It develops as blisters covering genital organs and it can be transmitted from the mother to the baby. As far as treatment is concerned, it reduces the frequency of occurrence and the severity of the lesions, but it does not eliminate the infection.

Furthermore, most of the times B hepatitis is the most frequently associated with sexual contact. The most common symptoms are yellow pigment covering large areas of the skin and the eyes as well. The patient can develop fever, different pains, and fatigue. To continue with, if it is not treated on time, they can complicate, leading to cirrhosis or hepatic cancer. Unfortunately, there is no traditional treatment, but there are anti hepatitis vaccines, which can prevent the disease.

Gonorrhea is another frequent STD, signaled by vagina and penis secretions, and pain while urinating. This disease is dangerous because it can lead to infertility. Nevertheless, it can be treated.

Furthermore, syphilis does not develop severe symptoms at the beginning. It can start with a painless ulceration at genital level, which can cure spontaneously. After that, skin rash can emerge as well as headache and pain in the joints. If it is not diagnosed and treated, it can lead to unwanted consequences upon the psychic.

Another STD is represented by genital warts, which can be triggered by a virus. There can emerge painless prominences in the genital and anal area, whose shape can be associated with a tiny cauliflower. Fortunately they can be treated in more manners.

An extremely unpleasant STD is triggered by lice. They are little insects finding shelter in the pubic hair. They can be caught after contact with infested clothes or bed linen. At the beginning you may have itching sensation in the pubic area. It is a disagreeable disease, but it can be treated.

In addition, scab is a skin infection caused by a parasite. It can spread rapidly, through sexual contact, skin contact, bed linen, towels, or furniture, which has been infested. It can be as well treated.

Even if most of these diseases can be treated, as soon as you notice something wrong with you and you suspect you have contacted a STD, you must go immediately to the doctor, in order to prevent its spreading. Besides, sexual education may be beneficial in STDs prevention.

Know a Little About STD Testing Procedures


Early detection of STDs is your first step in prevention and cure of the disease. The fastest way you can accurately detect STD infection is to have yourself tested in an STD clinic. If you are a sexually active person, especially engaging in sex with multiple partners you are at a very high risk of exposure to STDs. Whether you are feeling any symptoms of STDs or not, you should have yourself tested IMMEDIATELY!

To eliminate your fears about having yourself tested, this article serves to inform you of the basic and most common STD testing procedures. STD testing is not that complicated or expensive. Some tests will require you one or more return trips to the center for a series of examinations. STD Testing procedures will all depend on the type of infection that you have.

Here are some STD testing procedures that you should know. Actual STD tested is recommended according to the discretion of the health team.

Chlamydia

Chlamydia is a bacterial disease that shows more visible signs in women than in men. Since visible symptoms appear on the first to third week from exposure, you don't have to wait for these symptoms to be visible. Initially a pelvic examination will be conducted by the health practitioner to see if there any visible signs of infection. In women, the bacteria causing Chlamydia infects the cervix and uterus. A cervical swab is inserted in the vagina to get samples of the mucous lining. This sample is sent to the laboratory for analysis and testing. If there are any genital discharges, these are also gathered and sent for laboratory testing. Mucous samples from the throat are also taken if the person engages in oral to genital sex.

Gonorrhea

Symptoms of this disease appear from the 2nd to the 30th day of exposure. They will immediately conduct a physical examination of the genitals and rectum where immediate signs appear. Urine samples will be gathered and sent to a laboratory for analysis. Discharge from the vagina or penis is also collected and tested if bacteria causing gonorrhea is present.

Hepatitis B

Although Hepatitis B sometimes does not show any symptoms, changes in the person's outer appearance indicate the presence of the disease. They will conduct a physical examination if the skin or eyes have turned yellow. Stool and urine samples will be taken and tested for the presence of the virus. Dark urine and gray colored bowel movements are usually indicators of Hepatitis.

HIV

Since this disease do not show any severe symptoms until after 10 years, its initial flu like symptoms are always mistaken for the common fever. Flu like symptoms usually develops after 2 to 6 weeks of exposure to HIV infection. They will immediately check for symptoms of fever, headache, sore throat, fatigue, rash, and swollen lymph glands. For a more accurate diagnosis, an HIV antibody blood test is taken. Sometimes the infection takes 3 months to show more visible symptoms so a re-screening blood test should be taken again.

Frequently Asked Questions About Online STD Testing


Even the less computer-savvy people these days are beginning to grow comfortable with the idea of going online. From email to chat groups to social networking sites, the Internet has gradually become a part of many people's daily existences. When it comes to online commerce, most people by now are used to the idea of purchasing everything from diapers to groceries to medical care products off of the Internet, and thanks to search engine oriented marketing, it's easier than ever for consumers to find the products they need in a jiffy. Although e-commerce is a thriving component of the economy, there are still items and products that some people might be less than comfortable purchasing online. Tracey Powell is the founder and CEO of getSTDtested.com, an online company that facilitates STD testing in a manner that is both convenient and confidential, and while he agrees that there are many benefits to ordering STD tests online, some people are certainly less apt to do so than others. In order to make customers more comfortable with the idea of purchasing STD tests online, Tracey answers the following frequently asked questions about his business:

Are STD tests ordered online really reliable?

Yes, any STD test ordered through getSTDtested.com is just as reliable as a test that a doctor would administer. The company partners with some of the most reputable testing facilities in the country to ensure that all test results are extremely accurate, typically the same national labs used by your physician. Additionally, the company has a number of doctors on staff to review test results and offer consultations as necessary.

Are STD tests ordered online really confidential?

Just like your doctor in certain states, getSTDtested.com is required to report positive results for certain STDs. However, ordering online allows customers to control information provided. The company also utilizes several mechanisms to protect customers. When a customer requests his lab-based tests through the website, he is assigned a patient ID number that corresponds to a particular email address. This ID number will appear on a laboratory test requisition form in lieu of an actual name in order to protect the patient's true identity. Nondescript labels are also used for e-mail correspondence and credit card receipts.

What happens if a person doesn't know which STDs to get tested for?

In order to help customers determine which STDs they need to get tested for, getSTDtested.com is the only online STD testing company to employ a staff of professional counselors whose job is to help people understand their STD symptoms and risks. The company also has medical doctors on hand who can be called upon for advice as necessary.

Is online STD testing expensive?

Since getSTDtested.com does not work with insurance companies in order to protect customer privacy, the cost per test can be greater than a simple insurance company copayment. However, the cost of online STD testing is still quite reasonable, and per-test discounts are offered to customers who choose to get tested in bulk.

How quickly can online STD testing be administered?

Once a customer has ordered his STD tests, he can simply print out his laboratory requisition form and hop on over to his local testing facility. Since appointments aren't necessary, a customer could have his blood sample taken on the same day that places his online order. Even without an appointment, the lab visit generally only takes about 10-15 minutes start to finish, making the process extremely simple and convenient.

How long does it take to get STD test results?

Most customers can expect to receive their test results within three business days of their respective testing facility visits. In some cases, customers might receive STD test results in as little as forty-eight hours.

Now that you know the basics about online STD testing, you can feel comfortable knowing that by ordering your tests online, you'll be getting the same service that any good physician would otherwise provide. Of course, for some people, the notion of ordering STD tests online is still rather foreign. However, those who do choose to use the Internet to their health's advantage can certainly benefit from the convenience and privacy inherent in online STD testing.

What You Should Know About STD Testing


Sexually Transmitted Diseases or STDs can infect anyone who is sexually active. As long as you do not practice unprotected sex, you may be the next victim of this deadly disease. Most people barely have a basic knowledge of STD symptoms and its treatment. It is not enough to know these basics. What is important is that once you are aware that you may have STD symptoms it is best that you undergo STD testing. This is the next best step in prevention of this disease. As the saying goes, "An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure."

STD testing is the best way to know if you are infected with this disease. Some STDs display symptoms that are similar to the common diseases like flu, diarrhea or the common allergy. Some STDs do not show any symptoms at all and manifest their effects after a very long period of time. Until then you are kept guessing if you have it or you don't. The best way is to consult your doctor or health provider if you suspect that you were exposed and show symptoms of the disease. Go for STD testing so you will be able to determine the proper treatment of STDs.

Genital Warts. There are two types of warts - high-risk and low-risk. The doctor will take a visual inspection of the affected area to determine what type of wart is afflicting the patient. Some warts are not visible to the human eye that is why during the examination the doctor will swab the affected area with acetic acid to make small warts visible. This strain of warts can lead to cervical cancer so it is important to have regular Pap smear tests for women.

Herpes. Although there are two types, the more lethal cases are caused by the HSV-2. Since there are no visible symptoms, patients will need to undergo a physical exam and a blood test.

Chlamydia. A pelvic exam and a swab test will be given by the doctor to the suspecting patient. A cervical swab will be applied to the cervix and this will be sent to a laboratory to test for signs of bacteria causing Chlamydia.

Gonorrhea. A physical exam as well as a culture test will be taken from the patient. Samples of the green or yellow discharge will be sent to a laboratory to test for the presence of bacteria. A urine test may also be taken but some results may not be accurate.

Syphilis. Early detection of this disease is the appearance of sores and rashes. Since this disease occurs in stages, different tests are taken for every stage. During the early stages, a physical exam and samples of the fluid taken from the sores are required. In the second stage, the lymph glands will be checked as well as signs for body rash. A blood test will be required to look for the anti-bodies of the syphilis bacteria. In the latter stages, a Cerebrospinal Fluid Test will be taken. This procedure will involve extraction of spinal fluids to determine the extent of the infection.

Know More About STD and Its 25 Different Types


A total of 25 different types of STD have been listed and grouped under STD. It is their nature to be easily transmitted sexually. Aside from sexual transmission, when the wound is open, these diseases can also be transmitted through exchanging of body liquids and infection. Since STD has so many types, in most cases, an infected person is struggling to identify what type of STD is striking him.

Among the 25 STDs, six of them are believed to be the most widespread. The six most common STDs are AIDS, syphilis, herpes, Chlamydia, gonorrhea, and genital warts. From the six STDs, Chlamydia is said to be on top as the most prevalent. Every year, there are three million detected cases of Chlamydia and it continues to increase from time to time. In early stages of Chlamydia, it can be treated by antibiotics. But if Chlamydia cannot be treated immediately, it can cause pelvic inflammatory disease which is believed to be the reason of infertility.

A person with STD will suffer from genital pain, itch, and sores as the early symptoms of the STD. Men with STDs will encounter symptoms such as pain throughout urination, testicular pain and swelling, and penile discharge.

Majority of STDs can be cured. But one has to remember that STDs can be the reason for hassles and disabilities in one's life. STD can cause problems that can make life miserable. STDs like gonorrhea, Chlamydia, and syphilis can cause PID or the so-called Pelvic Inflammatory Disease. This disease can be a person's long term and serious problem. It can cause infertility and pelvic pain. There is also a kind of STD that can be the reason for genital warts and can be the cause of cervical cancer. This disease is called Human Papilloma Virus or HPV.

Chlamydia, syphilis, and gonorrhea can be treated. Before a person will undergo for a treatment, he must first take an STD test to confirm his suspicion that he has an STD infection. Those who want to undergo any test must always remember that all STD tests are not 100% accurate. When you have the feeling that you have been infected or if you are experiencing STD symptoms, go immediately to an STD clinic and ask for an STD test.

It is a sad fact that Hepatitis B, HIV, and Human Papilloma Virus are the kind of STDs that cannot be cured, but these can be treated and managed. Taking an STD test is the best thing a person can do if there are some reproductive system and genital irregularities. The first step is going to the doctor or to any STD clinic and have a blood sample test. After the test and you found out that you are an STD carrier, seek immediately for a medical treatment. Early detection of STD is very important so that an infected person can get appropriate treatment.

Accurate STD Testing For Herpes and Information About This Sexually Transmitted Disease


Herpes is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases in both men and women. Despite this, there are a huge percentage of undiagnosed cases when it comes to herpes primarily because of asymptomatic conditions in many carriers. People can go one for years without feeling any symptoms that might indicate a herpetic infection and this becomes a problem especially if they lead a sexually active lifestyle and engage in multiple partners. Late diagnosis of herpes because of this is fairly common normally when the herpes has spread or has cause considerable reproductive damage to the person carrying the virus.

Another consideration is the presence of symptoms but in the form of mild episodes that a person who carries Herpes does not assume it as being such. Some of these manifestations can be simple flu like symptoms such as headache, aching joints and fatigue.

For those people who actually experience pronounced STD symptoms can include swollen lymph nodes in the inguinal area which are often tender and may feel like enlarged peas on the surface of the skin upon examination. Sores can become present on the genital area, most often on both sides while painful urination, severe itching and pustulent discharges from the penis and vagina are also notable.

Herpetic sores normally begin as blisters that group in clusters. The blister stage doesn't stay on for long and eventually break open to form ulcers on the skin's mucous membrane with scabs and crust forming on top of the ulcer and eventually fall off healing the tissue. The prominence of sores in the cervical lining of women is evident as well as herpetic sores in the urethral passage for men. Once the infected cells slough off the inner cervical lining and penis, they cause a noticeable discharge and is a common std symptom for herpes. A new string of herpetic clump appears within a week after the first emergence has healed and lasts about two to three weeks of outbreak.

If a carrier has had previous exposure to oral herpes then chances are that antibodies present from the previous herpetic infection will cease the onset of symptomatic manifestations for the genital herpes. Sores may cover a smaller area and generalized symptoms may have a lesser occurrence, recovery and convalescence is also shortened.

It can be difficult to make a realistic diagnosis of a herpes infection by merely looking at the sores. Sores can have a different look and may be anything from a small crack or fissure to redness without the prominence of broken skin. Utilizing accurate STD testing when it comes to herpes is the most effective way of getting proper diagnosis. A culture swab of the sore by far is one of the most reliable and accurate STD testing processes for the detection and classification of herpes. A polymerase chain reaction or PCR which is similar to a culture can also be done but is more expensive than a traditional swab. To be sure about the type of herpes, using accurate STD testing in the form of a blood test may be recommended by a health practitioner from an STD clinic.

What You Need To Know About HIV Symptoms


For the last several decades we have read about the terrible affliction called AIDS. What many people do not know is that AIDS is in fact the last part of the illness called HIV. HIV means human immunodeficiency virus. It's an unsightly name for a terribly ugly disease. In the following paragraphs we'll investigate the symptoms that occur in the various levels of HIV in order to better advise anybody with an interest in this condition.

Consequently, the following is an explanation of HIV symptoms as they appear in the four phases.

HIV Symptoms Stage Number One: Incubation

This initial phase normally lasts 2 to 4 weeks. It is almost impossible to know if an individual is in the incubation phase since there are no symptoms, to speak of. However rest assured, there are symptoms on the horizon. It is recommended that the patient seek medical assistance at this stage if they suspect they might be infected. A home test package is often a beneficial first start.

HIV Symptoms Stage Number Two: Acute Infection

This stage typically lasts 28 days or so. The symptoms that were nonexistent in stage I will turn out to be prevalent with this stage. Symptoms like a high fever, sore throat, muscle pain, and rashes throughout the body (as well as the mouth) are common. The distress is beginning to manifest itself at this stage, however there is a lot more to come.

HIV Symptoms Stage Number Three: Latency

For whatever reason, and there's no medical explanation as of this time, the signs and symptoms diminish to some degree during this period. The sufferer may believe that his troubles are over, but regrettably the worst is yet to come. Latency may range from two weeks to even two decades, for those fortunate ones

HIV Symptoms Stage Number Four: AIDS

When the onset of AIDS begins, the patient suffering increases exponentially. The medical term to describe the difficulties of AIDS is known as opportunistic infections. How this works, essentially, is your body no longer can protect itself against viral attacks. Sufferers who reach the AIDS's stage will find themselves experiencing any number of illnesses. For instance cervical cancer, lymphomas, along with a truly awful disease called Kaposi. Kaposi manifests itself with circular, brownish or purple spots on the skin and/or inside the mouth. Once the victim has experienced these problems, there's really nothing that can be done on their behalf. Medical science could only try to minimize discomfort whenever possible while the individual gradually and agonizingly passes away.

Conclusion:

Every one of us hope and pray that a solution can be found for this horrible condition. The quantity of human suffering brought on by HIV is genuinely heartbreaking. However there are actions that may be applied to decrease the suffering, so if you or somebody you love encounters HIV symptoms, make sure you seek medical help.

6 Common Questions About STDs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases)


How Many Types of STDs Exist?

There more than 25 different types of STDs that exist, with each one showing distinct signs and symptoms. Some even show no signs at all. The most common STDs are: Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphilis, Genital Herpes, Human Papillomavirus, Hepatitis B, Trichomoniasis, and Bacterial Vaginosis.

What Are the Symptoms of an STD?

STDs may start with an itch, blistering, redness, soreness around the area of the genitals, a burning or stinging sensation when urinating, a frequent urge to urinate at a moments notice, a white, yellow, or green discharge from either the penis or the vagina, a strong smell coming from the genital area even after washing, sore throats, mouth blisters, chills or fevers, swellings, continual headaches, or continuous aches and pains, etc.

What Should I Do if I Have Symptoms of a STD?

If you have had sex with someone who you think may have a STD, or you have STD symptoms yourself, then it is advisable to get checked out at a STD clinic as soon a possible.

Can STDs Be Caught from Same Sex Partners?

Yes! STDs can be caught from a partner of the same-sex. "Having Sex" means where there is an exchange of body fluids between two people. This includes, giving or receiving oral or anal sex with either a man or woman, and vaginal sex with a woman. No erection is necessary to catch a STD, as most are highly contagious.

What Precautions Can I Take so as Not to Catch an STD?

1. Always use either a male or female condom if you think that your partner may be at risk of having caught a STD. Never use cheap condoms as they are usually prone to either break or burst.

2. Always use a condom with new partners, or partners that are sexually active with other people.

3. Avoid having sex with high risk partners or prostitutes.

4. Do not inject yourself with drugs, or share needles and syringes.

5. Avoid getting drunk or taking drugs, as you are more likely to take chances with sex.

Are There Any Long Term Effects from Catching STDs?

Catching a STD can result in long-term health problems for both the man and the woman alike. If a STD is either not treated soon after it is caught, or even not treated at all, then there may be a future risk of suffering some degree of problem with childbirth.

What You Need to Know About STDs


Sexually transmitted disease, known as STD in short, is a disease that spreads from individual to individual through sexual activities. It is generally incurable and the best prevention is to avoid multiple sexual partners and the advocacy for safe sex.

Factors that causes STD

Several STDs are caused by viruses, bacteria and tiny parasites. Although the causes are different, they have something in common and that is a liking for sexual areas of the body of a human. (What these all have in common is a liking for the genital (sexual) areas of the human body) They are fragile organisms which do not survive for long when they are away from the body or body fluids. They either live in the external skin, tissues of the penis and vagina or in the body fluids such as semen, blood or vagina fluids. Worst of all, when a person with STD has close sexual intercourse with his or her partner, their partner may infected with it as well.

The symptoms of STD

Many people might be wondering how to know whether one's is down with STD. Unfortunately, there might not have any obvious symptoms in the beginning; hence it is difficult to tell. But when STD do start to have some obvious symptoms, they can range from annoying, to unpleasant, serious or even fatal.

Symptoms of STD in male

- Abnormal fluid coming from the penis

- Redness, soreness or feel of itchiness at the penis tip

- Encounter pain during sex

- Experience burning sensation or pain during urinating

- Feeling the need to pee unusually

- Having rashes, sores, itching, warts on the anus, buttocks, upper thighs or genitals

- Discharge or frequent pain from the anus

- Swelling in the scrotum

- Unusual white patches or sores found in the mouth or throat

- Swollen glands or starting to develop flu symptoms

Symptoms of STD in female

- Abnormal fluid coming from the vagina

- Encounter pain during sex

- Discharge from the urinary tract

- Experience burning sensation or pain during peeing

- Feeling the need to pee unusually

- Feeling tenderness or pain in the belly

- Having rashes, sores, itching, warts on the anus, buttocks, upper thighs and vagina

- Discharge or frequent pain from the anus

- Unusual white patches or sores found in the mouth or throat

What People Ought to Know About STD Symptoms - Sexually Transmitted Disease and Proper Management


The detection and management of several common STDs are fairly easy if you equip yourself with the proper information about its symptoms where to get help and how to manage sexually transmitted diseases during the course of treatment. There are several facts about STDs that can help a potential carrier identify infection before it progresses to a severe infection and potentially cause devastating effects to the body. A common STD if not treated properly will have several complications with some of the worst leading to an immune-compromised state and even death.

Most of the prevalent STDs among men and women that is bacterial in nature is Chlamydia. This kind of infection has been reported asymptomatic in almost 80% in women and 50% of men say that they were unaware of infection because of virtually no indicators that they carry a sexually transmitted disease. Of course among those who do exhibit symptoms, the most common manifestation is the presence of a discharge of some sort, originating from the genital openings such as the penis, vagina and even in the anus. Pain during urination is often observed. This sexually transmitted disease can often be spread through vaginal, oral and anal sexual contact. It can create devastating complications especially for pregnant women, and have been known to be the cause of infertility or even an ectopic pregnancy.

Another common disease that is diagnosed through std testing is Genital Herpes; it has been a common misconception that the kind of herpes that cause cold sores do not cause genital infection but being one of the two strains has a probability of generating std symptoms in the genital area as well. Genital Herpes is notorious for recurring outbreaks of blister sores on the genital aspect for both sexes, normally observed in the cervical lining for women and the urethral opening for men. This form of herpes can be transmitted to a baby during pregnancy. Although genital herpes is treatable, there has not been any known curative intervention. The frequency and prominence of blisters can be managed but complete elimination of the infection is still not available.

Hepatitis strains unknown to many can be spread sexually. Hepatitis B is the most common sexually transmitted strain. Common symptoms are yellowish skin and eyes accompanied by flu like symptoms such as joint pain and body malaise. Hepatitis can lead to severe complications if not diagnosed and treated properly such as cirrhosis and some forms of hepatic cancer. At the moment there is no known cure, but remission is possible through aggressive medical treatment. Hepatitis A and B are preventable through immunization.

Another common disease that is diagnosed in STD tests is the presence of gonorrhea in men and women. Symptoms associated with it are normally painful urination with a colored discharge from the penis or vagina. Gonorrhea is easily treatable and goes away after a week of antibiotic treatment. If left undiagnosed this sexually transmitted disease can cause internal complications and is especially dangerous for women who may suffer from infertility or complications in pregnancy.

These common sexually transmitted diseases are easily managed if proper STD testing is done and at the early levels of the infection. There are many private STD testing clinics that treat patient confidentiality with the strictest protocols and allow each patient to manage their infection worry free and conveniently. The most important thing is a diligent collaboration with the medical team and follow up testing to ensure remission or complete cure from a sexually transmitted infection.

Frequently Asked Questions About Online STD Testing


Even the less computer-savvy people these days are beginning to grow comfortable with the idea of going online. From email to chat groups to social networking sites, the Internet has gradually become a part of many people's daily existences. When it comes to online commerce, most people by now are used to the idea of purchasing everything from diapers to groceries to medical care products off of the Internet, and thanks to search engine oriented marketing, it's easier than ever for consumers to find the products they need in a jiffy. Although e-commerce is a thriving component of the economy, there are still items and products that some people might be less than comfortable purchasing online. Tracey Powell is the founder and CEO of getSTDtested.com, an online company that facilitates STD testing in a manner that is both convenient and confidential, and while he agrees that there are many benefits to ordering STD tests online, some people are certainly less apt to do so than others. In order to make customers more comfortable with the idea of purchasing STD tests online, Tracey answers the following frequently asked questions about his business:

Are STD tests ordered online really reliable?

Yes, any STD test ordered through getSTDtested.com is just as reliable as a test that a doctor would administer. The company partners with some of the most reputable testing facilities in the country to ensure that all test results are extremely accurate, typically the same national labs used by your physician. Additionally, the company has a number of doctors on staff to review test results and offer consultations as necessary.

Are STD tests ordered online really confidential?

Just like your doctor in certain states, getSTDtested.com is required to report positive results for certain STDs. However, ordering online allows customers to control information provided. The company also utilizes several mechanisms to protect customers. When a customer requests his lab-based tests through the website, he is assigned a patient ID number that corresponds to a particular email address. This ID number will appear on a laboratory test requisition form in lieu of an actual name in order to protect the patient's true identity. Nondescript labels are also used for e-mail correspondence and credit card receipts.

What happens if a person doesn't know which STDs to get tested for?

In order to help customers determine which STDs they need to get tested for, getSTDtested.com is the only online STD testing company to employ a staff of professional counselors whose job is to help people understand their STD symptoms and risks. The company also has medical doctors on hand who can be called upon for advice as necessary.

Is online STD testing expensive?

Since getSTDtested.com does not work with insurance companies in order to protect customer privacy, the cost per test can be greater than a simple insurance company copayment. However, the cost of online STD testing is still quite reasonable, and per-test discounts are offered to customers who choose to get tested in bulk.

How quickly can online STD testing be administered?

Once a customer has ordered his STD tests, he can simply print out his laboratory requisition form and hop on over to his local testing facility. Since appointments aren't necessary, a customer could have his blood sample taken on the same day that places his online order. Even without an appointment, the lab visit generally only takes about 10-15 minutes start to finish, making the process extremely simple and convenient.

How long does it take to get STD test results?

Most customers can expect to receive their test results within three business days of their respective testing facility visits. In some cases, customers might receive STD test results in as little as forty-eight hours.

Now that you know the basics about online STD testing, you can feel comfortable knowing that by ordering your tests online, you'll be getting the same service that any good physician would otherwise provide. Of course, for some people, the notion of ordering STD tests online is still rather foreign. However, those who do choose to use the Internet to their health's advantage can certainly benefit from the convenience and privacy inherent in online STD testing.

Know a Little About STD Testing Procedures


Early detection of STDs is your first step in prevention and cure of the disease. The fastest way you can accurately detect STD infection is to have yourself tested in an STD clinic. If you are a sexually active person, especially engaging in sex with multiple partners you are at a very high risk of exposure to STDs. Whether you are feeling any symptoms of STDs or not, you should have yourself tested IMMEDIATELY!

To eliminate your fears about having yourself tested, this article serves to inform you of the basic and most common STD testing procedures. STD testing is not that complicated or expensive. Some tests will require you one or more return trips to the center for a series of examinations. STD Testing procedures will all depend on the type of infection that you have.

Here are some STD testing procedures that you should know. Actual STD tested is recommended according to the discretion of the health team.

Chlamydia

Chlamydia is a bacterial disease that shows more visible signs in women than in men. Since visible symptoms appear on the first to third week from exposure, you don't have to wait for these symptoms to be visible. Initially a pelvic examination will be conducted by the health practitioner to see if there any visible signs of infection. In women, the bacteria causing Chlamydia infects the cervix and uterus. A cervical swab is inserted in the vagina to get samples of the mucous lining. This sample is sent to the laboratory for analysis and testing. If there are any genital discharges, these are also gathered and sent for laboratory testing. Mucous samples from the throat are also taken if the person engages in oral to genital sex.

Gonorrhea

Symptoms of this disease appear from the 2nd to the 30th day of exposure. They will immediately conduct a physical examination of the genitals and rectum where immediate signs appear. Urine samples will be gathered and sent to a laboratory for analysis. Discharge from the vagina or penis is also collected and tested if bacteria causing gonorrhea is present.

Hepatitis B

Although Hepatitis B sometimes does not show any symptoms, changes in the person's outer appearance indicate the presence of the disease. They will conduct a physical examination if the skin or eyes have turned yellow. Stool and urine samples will be taken and tested for the presence of the virus. Dark urine and gray colored bowel movements are usually indicators of Hepatitis.

HIV

Since this disease do not show any severe symptoms until after 10 years, its initial flu like symptoms are always mistaken for the common fever. Flu like symptoms usually develops after 2 to 6 weeks of exposure to HIV infection. They will immediately check for symptoms of fever, headache, sore throat, fatigue, rash, and swollen lymph glands. For a more accurate diagnosis, an HIV antibody blood test is taken. Sometimes the infection takes 3 months to show more visible symptoms so a re-screening blood test should be taken again.

10 Important Facts About Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) & Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI)


1. WHAT ARE SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES (STDS)?

Sexually transmitted diseases are diseases that can be passed from person to person through sexual contact. In this case sexual contact means penis-vagina penetration, oral sex which is sexual contact using the mouth, and insertion of the penis into the rectum which is anal sex. Some of these diseases may be transmitted by exchange of sexual fluids such as semen or vaginal discharge. Some of the STD's result in open sores, and it can be spread by contact with skin of someone else. There are also ways to transmit these diseases in a non sexual way, an infected pregnant woman can either give it to her baby during pregnancy, or when the baby is being delivered. Drug abusers can transmit the disease through sharing hypodermic needles that have been used by an infected person. The seriousness of STD's varies, some are cured easily by drugs, others need a combination of treatments and drugs, whilst others have no cure, and the only option is treatment.

2. WHAT ARE SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED IINFECTIONS (STI's)?

Any infection that is usually passed through sexual contact.

3. ARE THE TWO WORDS INTERCHANGEABLE?

Fifteen years ago both these categories came under one name Venereal Disease (VD). To distinguish between them they were separated into infections (STI) and diseases(STD). Infection means that a germ, bacteria, parasite or virus is present in the body. An infected person does not necessarily have any symptoms, which means that they do not usually feel ill..A disease is any abnormal condition of the body or mind that causes

discomfort, dysfunction, or distress, in other words your body tells you that you are unwell. This means that STI covers a wider range than the term STD. STD refers only to infections that are causing problems. Because most of the time, people don't know they are infected with an STI until they start showing symptoms of disease, the AIDS Resource Center uses the term STD, even though the term STI is also appropriate in many cases.

Let's see if we can simply un-muddy the waters here. Genital herpes has two states when the blisters are present and when they are absent. When they are

present they are causing symptoms, ie the blisters, at this stage it is an STD, and it is that this stage that the infection is most likely to be spread to another

person.When the blisters are absent then there are no symptoms, and this is then an STI, and the likelihood of an infection is reduced. However, HIV can be

an infection, in the sense that there may be no symptoms, when they develop symptoms then they have AIDS which is an STD. However it is important to

remember that HIV infection can be spread at any time.

4.WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STD'S AND HIV?

A person who is already infected with STD, has a higher risk of contracting HIV if they have unprotected sex, without a condom. This risk is greater if the STD causes open genital sores, as these wounds provide a break in the skin which enables the HIV infection to enter the blood stream. STDs that can

cause genital ulcers include genital herpes, syphilis, chancre, gonorrhoea, trichomoniasis, and scabies.

5.WHY IS IT DIFFICULT TO RECOGNIZE THAT YOU MAY HAVE A STD?

First of all the majority of the people with STD have no immediate symptoms and when they do have them it can be misleading to diagnose as the

symptoms can be confused with non sexual diseases. Please note that this applies much more to women than men.

6. WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON SYMPTOMS FOR WOMEN WHEN THEY ARE SUFFERING FROM AN STD?

unusual or bad-smelling vaginal discharge,

severe itching or burning in the genital area,

unusual bleeding,

pain in the pelvic region,

pain during sex,

rashes on the genitals,

open sores or warts on the genital area, and/or recurrent urinary tract infections.

7. WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON SYMPTOMS FOR MEN WHEN THEY ARE SUFFERING FROM AN STD?

In men, the most common symptoms of STD are:

pain when urinating,

open sores or warts on the genital are

genital rash

discharge from the penis, and/or pain in the scrotum/testicles.

8. WHAT ARE THE OTHER SYMPTOMS NOT CONNECTED TO THE GENITALS?

The following symptoms are present in both men and women:

discharge from the anus,

swelling of the groin,

jaundice (yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes),

oral thrush (white tongue),

arthritis,

sores or bumps in and around the mouth, and

generalized rashes.

9 CAN I CONTRACT STI AS A RESULT OF MUTUAL MASTERBATION?

Yes you can and listed below are some examples:

Bacterial Vaginosis

Cytomegalovirus (CMV)

Herpes Simplex

Human Papilloma Virus (HPV, Warts)

Pubic Lice

Scabies

10. CAN I PREVENT GETTING STI or STD?

The only foolproof way is abstinence from sex. A condom merely reduces the risk, and it must be used every time, before any sexual fluids are exchanged.

Learn About STDs And Love Will Not Hurt


STDs are extremely dangerous especially for women, taking into consideration that at a moment in their life they are responsible for two, or even more persons that means when they are pregnant. On the one hand, STDs can lead to uterine cervix cancer or they can be transmitted to the baby while giving birth or after birth. The bad news is that a person can catch more STDs in the same time.

First, a popular STD is Chlamydia infection. It is caused by a bacteria and it usually does not develop any symptoms. However, there can be noticed vagina or penis discharges, pain, or burning feeling while urinating. It is very unpleasant but it can be treated.

Genital herpes has viral origin. It develops as blisters covering genital organs and it can be transmitted from the mother to the baby. As far as treatment is concerned, it reduces the frequency of occurrence and the severity of the lesions, but it does not eliminate the infection.

Furthermore, most of the times B hepatitis is the most frequently associated with sexual contact. The most common symptoms are yellow pigment covering large areas of the skin and the eyes as well. The patient can develop fever, different pains, and fatigue. To continue with, if it is not treated on time, they can complicate, leading to cirrhosis or hepatic cancer. Unfortunately, there is no traditional treatment, but there are anti hepatitis vaccines, which can prevent the disease.

Gonorrhea is another frequent STD, signaled by vagina and penis secretions, and pain while urinating. This disease is dangerous because it can lead to infertility. Nevertheless, it can be treated.

Furthermore, syphilis does not develop severe symptoms at the beginning. It can start with a painless ulceration at genital level, which can cure spontaneously. After that, skin rash can emerge as well as headache and pain in the joints. If it is not diagnosed and treated, it can lead to unwanted consequences upon the psychic.

Another STD is represented by genital warts, which can be triggered by a virus. There can emerge painless prominences in the genital and anal area, whose shape can be associated with a tiny cauliflower. Fortunately they can be treated in more manners.

An extremely unpleasant STD is triggered by lice. They are little insects finding shelter in the pubic hair. They can be caught after contact with infested clothes or bed linen. At the beginning you may have itching sensation in the pubic area. It is a disagreeable disease, but it can be treated.

In addition, scab is a skin infection caused by a parasite. It can spread rapidly, through sexual contact, skin contact, bed linen, towels, or furniture, which has been infested. It can be as well treated.

Even if most of these diseases can be treated, as soon as you notice something wrong with you and you suspect you have contacted a STD, you must go immediately to the doctor, in order to prevent its spreading. Besides, sexual education may be beneficial in STDs prevention.

6 Common Questions About STDs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases)


How Many Types of STDs Exist?

There more than 25 different types of STDs that exist, with each one showing distinct signs and symptoms. Some even show no signs at all. The most common STDs are: Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphilis, Genital Herpes, Human Papillomavirus, Hepatitis B, Trichomoniasis, and Bacterial Vaginosis.

What Are the Symptoms of an STD?

STDs may start with an itch, blistering, redness, soreness around the area of the genitals, a burning or stinging sensation when urinating, a frequent urge to urinate at a moments notice, a white, yellow, or green discharge from either the penis or the vagina, a strong smell coming from the genital area even after washing, sore throats, mouth blisters, chills or fevers, swellings, continual headaches, or continuous aches and pains, etc.

What Should I Do if I Have Symptoms of a STD?

If you have had sex with someone who you think may have a STD, or you have STD symptoms yourself, then it is advisable to get checked out at a STD clinic as soon a possible.

Can STDs Be Caught from Same Sex Partners?

Yes! STDs can be caught from a partner of the same-sex. "Having Sex" means where there is an exchange of body fluids between two people. This includes, giving or receiving oral or anal sex with either a man or woman, and vaginal sex with a woman. No erection is necessary to catch a STD, as most are highly contagious.

What Precautions Can I Take so as Not to Catch an STD?

1. Always use either a male or female condom if you think that your partner may be at risk of having caught a STD. Never use cheap condoms as they are usually prone to either break or burst.

2. Always use a condom with new partners, or partners that are sexually active with other people.

3. Avoid having sex with high risk partners or prostitutes.

4. Do not inject yourself with drugs, or share needles and syringes.

5. Avoid getting drunk or taking drugs, as you are more likely to take chances with sex.

Are There Any Long Term Effects from Catching STDs?

Catching a STD can result in long-term health problems for both the man and the woman alike. If a STD is either not treated soon after it is caught, or even not treated at all, then there may be a future risk of suffering some degree of problem with childbirth.

Know More About STD and Its 25 Different Types


A total of 25 different types of STD have been listed and grouped under STD. It is their nature to be easily transmitted sexually. Aside from sexual transmission, when the wound is open, these diseases can also be transmitted through exchanging of body liquids and infection. Since STD has so many types, in most cases, an infected person is struggling to identify what type of STD is striking him.

Among the 25 STDs, six of them are believed to be the most widespread. The six most common STDs are AIDS, syphilis, herpes, Chlamydia, gonorrhea, and genital warts. From the six STDs, Chlamydia is said to be on top as the most prevalent. Every year, there are three million detected cases of Chlamydia and it continues to increase from time to time. In early stages of Chlamydia, it can be treated by antibiotics. But if Chlamydia cannot be treated immediately, it can cause pelvic inflammatory disease which is believed to be the reason of infertility.

A person with STD will suffer from genital pain, itch, and sores as the early symptoms of the STD. Men with STDs will encounter symptoms such as pain throughout urination, testicular pain and swelling, and penile discharge.

Majority of STDs can be cured. But one has to remember that STDs can be the reason for hassles and disabilities in one's life. STD can cause problems that can make life miserable. STDs like gonorrhea, Chlamydia, and syphilis can cause PID or the so-called Pelvic Inflammatory Disease. This disease can be a person's long term and serious problem. It can cause infertility and pelvic pain. There is also a kind of STD that can be the reason for genital warts and can be the cause of cervical cancer. This disease is called Human Papilloma Virus or HPV.

Chlamydia, syphilis, and gonorrhea can be treated. Before a person will undergo for a treatment, he must first take an STD test to confirm his suspicion that he has an STD infection. Those who want to undergo any test must always remember that all STD tests are not 100% accurate. When you have the feeling that you have been infected or if you are experiencing STD symptoms, go immediately to an STD clinic and ask for an STD test.

It is a sad fact that Hepatitis B, HIV, and Human Papilloma Virus are the kind of STDs that cannot be cured, but these can be treated and managed. Taking an STD test is the best thing a person can do if there are some reproductive system and genital irregularities. The first step is going to the doctor or to any STD clinic and have a blood sample test. After the test and you found out that you are an STD carrier, seek immediately for a medical treatment. Early detection of STD is very important so that an infected person can get appropriate treatment.

STDs - this article talks about the types of STD and Their Symptoms.

What You Need To Know About HIV Symptoms


For the last several decades we have read about the terrible affliction called AIDS. What many people do not know is that AIDS is in fact the last part of the illness called HIV. HIV means human immunodeficiency virus. It's an unsightly name for a terribly ugly disease. In the following paragraphs we'll investigate the symptoms that occur in the various levels of HIV in order to better advise anybody with an interest in this condition.

Consequently, the following is an explanation of HIV symptoms as they appear in the four phases.

HIV Symptoms Stage Number One: Incubation

This initial phase normally lasts 2 to 4 weeks. It is almost impossible to know if an individual is in the incubation phase since there are no symptoms, to speak of. However rest assured, there are symptoms on the horizon. It is recommended that the patient seek medical assistance at this stage if they suspect they might be infected. A home test package is often a beneficial first start.

HIV Symptoms Stage Number Two: Acute Infection

This stage typically lasts 28 days or so. The symptoms that were nonexistent in stage I will turn out to be prevalent with this stage. Symptoms like a high fever, sore throat, muscle pain, and rashes throughout the body (as well as the mouth) are common. The distress is beginning to manifest itself at this stage, however there is a lot more to come.

HIV Symptoms Stage Number Three: Latency

For whatever reason, and there's no medical explanation as of this time, the signs and symptoms diminish to some degree during this period. The sufferer may believe that his troubles are over, but regrettably the worst is yet to come. Latency may range from two weeks to even two decades, for those fortunate ones

HIV Symptoms Stage Number Four: AIDS

When the onset of AIDS begins, the patient suffering increases exponentially. The medical term to describe the difficulties of AIDS is known as opportunistic infections. How this works, essentially, is your body no longer can protect itself against viral attacks. Sufferers who reach the AIDS's stage will find themselves experiencing any number of illnesses. For instance cervical cancer, lymphomas, along with a truly awful disease called Kaposi. Kaposi manifests itself with circular, brownish or purple spots on the skin and/or inside the mouth. Once the victim has experienced these problems, there's really nothing that can be done on their behalf. Medical science could only try to minimize discomfort whenever possible while the individual gradually and agonizingly passes away.

Conclusion:

Every one of us hope and pray that a solution can be found for this horrible condition. The quantity of human suffering brought on by HIV is genuinely heartbreaking. However there are actions that may be applied to decrease the suffering, so if you or somebody you love encounters HIV symptoms, make sure you seek medical help.

What You Need to Know About STDs


Sexually transmitted disease, known as STD in short, is a disease that spreads from individual to individual through sexual activities. It is generally incurable and the best prevention is to avoid multiple sexual partners and the advocacy for safe sex.

Factors that causes STD

Several STDs are caused by viruses, bacteria and tiny parasites. Although the causes are different, they have something in common and that is a liking for sexual areas of the body of a human. (What these all have in common is a liking for the genital (sexual) areas of the human body) They are fragile organisms which do not survive for long when they are away from the body or body fluids. They either live in the external skin, tissues of the penis and vagina or in the body fluids such as semen, blood or vagina fluids.
