- Are infections spread from person to person during sex (vaginal, oral, or anal) or close
sexual contact.
- STDs are also called sexually transmitted infections, or STIs.

Types of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs)

1.  Chlamydia
- Common sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by bacteria.
- The bacteria that causes chlamydia, most often spreads through unprotected
vaginal, oral, or anal sex.
- This infection is easily spread because it often causes no symptoms. 
- You can pass chlamydia to sexual partners without knowing it.
- It can also pass from an infected person to another through genital contact, even if
there’s no sex

2. Gonorrhea
- An infection caused by a sexually
transmitted bacterium that infects both males
and females.
- Most commonly spread during vaginal,
oral or anal sex.
- Most often affects the urethra, rectum
or throat. In females, gonorrhea can also
infect the cervix.
3. Syphilis
- Chronic bacterial infection that can be transmitted through sexual contact.
- A sexually transmitted infection (STI) that can cause serious health problems
without treatment. 
- Caused by a type of bacteria known as Treponema pallidum.

Treponema pallidum
- Is a spirally wound, gram-negative bacterium

4 stages of syphilis:

1. Primary
- Occurs about 3 to 4 weeks after a person contracts the bacteria
- It begins with a small, round sore called a chancre
Chancre - painless, but it’s highly infectious

2. Secondary
- Skin rashes and a sore throat may develop
- The rash won’t itch and is usually found on the palms and soles, but it may occur
anywhere on the body.

3. Latent
- The bacteria remain in the body
- Could last for years before progressing to tertiary syphilis

4. Tertiary
- Can be life-threatening
- Can occur years or decades after the initial infection
- Some other potential outcomes of tertiary syphilis include:
 blindness
 loss of hearing
 mental health conditions
 memory loss
 destruction of soft tissue and bone
 neurological disorders, such as stroke or meningitis
 heart disease
 neurosyphilis, which is an infection of the brain or spinal cord
4.Chancroid
- A bacterial condition that causes open sores on or around the genitals
- Transmitted through sexual contact
- Attacks tissue in the genital area and produces an open sore that’s sometimes
referred to as a chancroid or ulcer
- May also spread from skin-to-skin contact with a contagious person

5. And 6. TUAS PIKAS FILE

7.Trichomas Vaginalis (TV)

- A bacterial infection that causes inflammation of the vaginal mucos accompanied
by an unpleasant, pungent discharge
