THEME: "Novel Advancements in the field of Infectious Diseases Research"
Sexually
transmitted diseases (STDs) are infections that are passed from one person
to another through sexual contact. The causes of STDs are bacteria, parasites, yeast,
and viruses. There are more than 20 types of STDs, including Chlamydia,
Genital herpes, Gonorrhoea, HIV/AIDS, HPV,
Syphilis, Trichomoniasis. Most STDs affect both men and women, but in many
cases the health problems they cause can be more severe for women. If a
pregnant woman has an STD, it can cause serious health problems for the baby. Antibiotics
can treat STDs caused by bacteria, yeast, or parasites. There is no cure for
STDs caused by a virus, but medicines can often help with the symptoms and keep
the disease under control.
