Causes of STD
How would you feel if your doctor walked in a told you, you could never have children? Today in the United States an estimated of 900,000 Americans have been diagnosed with a STD. Although AIDS has had the most devastating impact worldwide there are other exposures of STDs such as Gonorrhea, Clymedia, and Herpes. Three of the most important reasons that contribute to STDs is multiple sexual partners, no protection, and lack of education.
STDs is often caused by multiple sexual partners. Having sex with a more than one person will put you in a higher risk of contracting STDs. When you have sex with someone, you are having sex with everyone the person has ever had sex with! If only one of them has an STD, you may become infected, too. The person you choose to have an intimate relationship with has not talked about STDs and what are the causes an STD, then most likely that person is only in to having sex for the heat of the moment. Those individual have a stigma, or a mark of shame attached to them. Often times it is the more the marrier, but in this situation, if you get yourself involve with more people then the rate tends to be higher states. Have you ever heard the saying,"you're playing with fire."
Having no protection can cause you to having an STD because it is considered not taking care of yourself. It is almost like if you happen to recieve a cut on the upper left elbow of your arm and you dont take care of it then the open wound becomes infected. Not having a condom before having sexual activities, means not having sex at all. Condoms perform functions that prevent the exchange of bodily fluids and diseases during sexual intercourse. Some people feel ashamed and embarrassed that they have contracted a disease through sexual activity, so they choose not to visit a doctor.Being careless about your own body and contracting a disease through the females reproductive system is more likely to occur without proper protection. It is a serious problem.
