Overview

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), or sexually transmitted infections (STIs), are infections that are passed from one person to another through sexual contact. They are usually spread during vaginal, oral, or anal sex. But sometimes they can spread through other sexual contact involving the penis, vagina, mouth, or anus. This is because some STDs, like herpes and HPV, are spread by skin-to-skin contact.

Causes

Sexually transmitted infections can be caused by: Bacteria. Gonorrhea, syphilis and chlamydia are examples of STDs that are caused by bacteria. Parasites. Trichomoniasis is an STD caused by a parasite. Viruses. STDs caused by viruses include human papillomavirus (HPV), the herpes simplex virus, and the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes AIDS.

    • Unusual discharge from the penis or vagina

Syphilis

Syphilis is an infection caused by bacteria. Most often, it spreads through sexual contact. The disease starts as a sore that’s often painless and typically appears on the genitals, rectum or mouth. Syphilis spreads from person to person through direct contact with these sores. It also can be passed to a baby during pregnancy and childbirth and sometimes through breastfeeding.

Symptoms

Syphilis develops in stages.

 

    • The first symptom of syphilis is a small sore called a chancre (SHANG-kur). The sore is often painless. It appears at the spot where the bacteria entered your body. Most people with syphilis develop only one chancre. Some people get more than one.

    • Often is not itchy.

    • May look rough, red or reddish-brown.

    • Might be so faint that it’s hard to see.

Tertiary syphilis

After the latent stage, up to 30% to 40% of people with syphilis who don’t get treatment have complications known as tertiary syphilis.BrainNervesEyes.Heart.Blood vessels.Liver.Bones and joints..
