The three most common sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are:
- Chlamydia: This is a bacterial infection that can be transmitted during vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Symptoms may include pain during urination, unusual discharge, and pain during sex. However, many people with chlamydia do not experience any symptoms.
- Gonorrhea: Another bacterial infection that can be transmitted through sexual contact. It can cause similar symptoms to chlamydia, including pain during urination and discharge. Like chlamydia, many people with gonorrhea may not have any symptoms.
- Human papillomavirus (HPV): This is a viral infection that can be transmitted through sexual contact. HPV can cause genital warts, as well as an increased risk of certain types of cancer, including cervical cancer. There is no cure for HPV, but there are vaccines available to help prevent infection.
