Definisi & Makna dari "sexually transmitted disease

What is a "sexually transmitted disease"?

A sexually transmitted disease (STD) is an infection that spreads from one person to another through sexual contact. These infections can affect anyone who is sexually active and may cause symptoms like genital pain, discharge, itching, or pain during urination. Some common STDs include chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and HPV. While some STDs can be cured with antibiotics or antiviral medications, others are lifelong conditions that require ongoing management. Using condoms during sexual activity and getting tested regularly can help prevent the spread of STDs and protect sexual health. Early diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent complications and reduce the risk of passing the infection to others.
