Syphilis
Syphilis can be a devastating disease, and it has made its presence known in the STD world.
At least 50,000 case's of syphilis occurs every year, and I believe I more go unreported
and untreated. Syphilis is a bacterial infection passed on through sex that causes sores
and rashes. If left untreated can cause serious problems in the long run.

Chlamydia
Chlamydia is the most common of all the STD's, and it often produces no symptoms and one usually doesn't
even know they have it, until it is too late. When Chlamydia goes untreated, in males it is nothing more
that an irritation, but in Women, it can be devastating. If the disease spreads into the
reproduction anatomy, it can cause PID (Pelvic Inflammatory Disease) which can cause infertility
or ectopic pregnancies (when the fertilized egg develops in the fallopian tubes)
this is very dangerous and
if it happens can rupture the tubes and cause serious damage even death. For more information...
Crabs
This is a nasty infestation of Pubic Lice. The thing is, it is really not a STD. The can be transmitted
by all sorts of physical contact. Crabs love hair, your scalp, underarms, chest, mustache, and pubic and if
you have hair, they will find it. The first symptoms is a horrible itch, and with closer examination
will find pimple-like bumps or a red rash. When you closely examine the hair, the sure sign way to notice if
you have crabs are the eggs attached to the pubic hair very close to the skin. For more information
Gonorrhea
Commonly referred to as the clap, is a bacterial infection passed during sex.
Symptoms appear in as little as 3 days and causes a yellow discharge from the
penis, painful urination, and swelling of the penis head. In women can cause PID and
sterility, and worse than that, can cause blindness in babies that are born with
women infected by the disease. For more information...
Herpes
Genital herpes was the sexual plague before the on-threat of the AIDS virus. This
highly contagious, incurable, sexually transmitted virus that has infected millions of people,
and claims more victims each year. Symptoms are a tingling and inching at the site of
infection. Soon the infected area has painful ulcerated sores that heal in about 3 weeks.
