Answer 3

There are so many different kinds of STDs. Some of these diseases lay dormant in your body until your body is under stress. Therefore, you could have any STD and not have any symptoms. If you are in question, you can request a titer from your doctor. I am not sure that is how you spell that but it is how it sounds. Your doctor will get a culture and blood and the lab can tell if you have been exposed to most any STD. One of the exceptions is exposure to the HIV/AIDS virus. You could have exposure to that and I think I read that it takes up to a year for it to show in your blood and can take 5 years to show any symptoms. The most common STD is the HPV virus that usually only has negative effects on women, but is carried and passed on by men. If you are worried, go to your doctor. He can run test. But most regular test will show up negative unless you are having an outbreak right at the moment. That is why I recommend the titer.

Well the here is some info on gonorreah: Gonorrhea, infectious sexually transmitted disease of humans caused by bacteria called Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Gonorrhea is almost always spread through sexual contact with the vagina, penis, anus, or mouth, although ejaculation is not necessary for infection to occur. Symptoms are usually present two to seven days after infection, but in some cases, the first symptoms may not appear for 30 days. In the United States, more than 300,000 cases of gonorrhea are reported each year. II. SYMPTOMS AND DIAGNOSIS Gonorrhea is much more obvious in males, who develop pain and an acute discharge of pus from the urethra. Scant at the start, the discharge becomes progressively thicker and heavier and causes frequent urination, often with a burning sensation. Should the prostate become infected, the passage of urine is partly obstructed. In females the infection occurs in the urethra, the vagina, or the cervix. Although discharge and irritation of the vaginal mucous membranes may be severe, more often few or no early symptoms appear. Gonorrhea can be diagnosed by examining discharge from the parts of the body likely to be infected (urethra, rectum, cervix, or throat) for the presence of the bacteria. A urine test can also detect the bacteria in the cervix or urethra. Treatment in the early stages is usually effective. If the disease is untreated in the male, the early symptoms may subside but the infection may spread to the testicles, causing sterility. In the untreated female the infection usually spreads from the cervix into the uterus and fallopian tubes, causing pelvic inflammatory disease. Severe pain may occur, or the infection may linger with few or no symptoms, gradually damaging the tubes and rendering the woman sterile. In both sexes the gonococcus may enter the bloodstream, resulting in arthritis, heart inflammation, or other diseases. Gonorrhea in pregnant women may be transmitted to the infant during birth and may, if untreated, cause a serious eye infection. III. TREATMENT Antibiotics are commonly used against gonorrhea, although over the years an increasing number of antibiotic-resistant strains of the gonorrhea bacteria have developed. Still effective are antibiotics that are administered in a single dose, including ceftriaxone, cefixime, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, and ofloxacin. Gonorrhea increased greatly in the U.S. in the 1970s and early 1980s, almost reaching epidemic proportions in adolescents and young adults. Most cities have clinics where young people can get treatment for gonorrhea and other sexually transmitted diseases. Since the 1980s, the rate of gonorrhea infection has declined by over 74 percent. One of the most difficult tasks in controlling gonorrhea is locating all recent sexual contacts of an infected person to prevent further spread of the disease. Abstaining from sexual activity is the surest way to avoid contracting gonorrhea. Latex condoms, when properly used, decrease the risk of infection.

Please see the webages for more details on Sexually Transmitted Infections.
Gonorrhoea-Males experience a discharge from the urethra. Women are particularly vulnerable to this asymptomatic form of the disease.
Chlamydia- Much chlamydial infection goes undiagnosed, because the infection is often without symptoms. However, it can cause vaginal bleeding and discharge, abdominal pain, fever and inflammation of the cervix in women. And in men, it can cause a watery or milky discharge from the penis, swollen or tender testicles and a burning feeling while urinating.
Genital Warts- Warts are found on or around the penis, anus or vagina. They are small lumps which have an irregular cauliflower-like surface.
Syphilis- The symptoms of syphilis are less specific. Though the illness usually begins with one or more painless but highly infectious sores appearing anywhere on the body (but usually at the site of infection) this is not always the case. The condition is especially significant in women in pregnancy where infection can cause miscarriage, still birth, or a damaged baby.
Genital herpes- Symptoms include small blisters in the genital area which rapidly break down to leave painful ulcers. Other symptoms include pain or difficulty in passing urine. Some patients may develop headache and fever. Herpes infection during late pregnancy is potentially dangerous to the baby during labour. Herpes is a life-long chronic condition which cannot be cured.
