What Are Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs)?

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are infections caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites that spread through sexual contact. Some STDs are curable with medication, while others can be managed long term. If left untreated, certain STDs may lead to serious or permanent health complications, which is why early testing is so important.

How Do STDs Spread?

STDs are spread through vaginal, oral, or anal sex. Anyone who is sexually active can be at risk, regardless of age, sexual orientation, relationship status, or number of partners. Because many STDs cause few or no symptoms, routine testing is the only reliable way to know your status and prevent unknowingly passing an infection to others.

Common Sexually Transmitted Diseases

AFC Urgent Care offers comprehensive STD testing to help identify infections early, often before complications occur.

Chlamydia

A common bacterial STD that often causes no symptoms but can lead to serious reproductive health issues if untreated.

Gonorrhea

A bacterial infection that can affect the genitals, throat, or rectum and is treatable with antibiotics when caught early.

Syphilis

Syphilis develops in stages and may begin with painless symptoms that are easy to overlook.

HIV

HIV weakens the immune system and can progress to AIDS if untreated. Early diagnosis allows for effective long-term management.

Trichomoniasis (Trich)

A parasitic STD that is often asymptomatic but easily treated once detected.

Herpes

A viral infection caused by HSV-1 or HSV-2 that spreads through skin-to-skin contact.

Pubic Lice

Parasitic insects are transmitted through close personal contact.

Hepatitis

Hepatitis affects the liver, and hepatitis B is considered an STD.

Vaccines are available for hepatitis A and B, and testing helps guide appropriate care.

Should I Get Tested for STDs?

If you’re sexually active, STD testing should be part of your routine healthcare; even if you feel well. Untreated STDs can cause long-term health problems and may be passed to others. Testing is especially important if you’re pregnant or planning to become pregnant, as some STDs can affect babies during childbirth.

STD Treatment and Prevention

Early testing allows for prompt treatment. While not all STDs are curable, most can be treated or effectively managed with antibiotics or antiviral medications. Preventive steps include:

• using condoms during sexual activity
• limiting sexual partners and getting tested regularly
• getting vaccinated for hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and HPV
