Sexually Transmitted Diseases and Control

Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) are infectious diseases that pass from the infected individual to the healthy individual through sexual contact. Sexually transmitted diseases are also known as Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) or Venereal Diseases (VD). In some cases, STDs can spread by using the unsterilized drug needles, from mother during the birth of the child and breastfeeding, and transfusion of blood. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates there are more than 1 million cases of STDs acquired globally each day. STI control is a general health outcome estimated by reduced incidence and commonness. The way to accomplish this include: (i) promoting and providing condoms and other means of prevention; (ii) an empowering domain; and (iii) dependable information.
