Chlamydia, caused by chlamydia trachomatis, is a sexually transmitted bacterial infection that can affect both men and women's reproductive organs. The bacteria named chlamydia tachomatis can only be found on mucous membranes, therefore, if infected can be spread by connecting with another person's membranes. Once the infection is spread, the symptoms might appear anywhere between 1-3 weeks. The symptoms include the burning sensation in the urethra and a thin and clear emission. However, at the initial stage, most men and women do not experience any of those symptoms making it even riskier.…

In 2013, more than 1.2 million Americans were diagnosed with a sexually transmitted disease by the name of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Men and women between the ages of 13-64 receive this pathogen that is caused by oral and or anal sexually actions. The most common route for a pathogen to attach to the host would be through the respiratory or gastrointestinal tract, and through cuts or punctured skin. These types of routes through the body causes Neisseria gonorrhoeae to infect the host. Most of the microbes will enter the host causing disease to occur, from that same host and eventually spread the disease throughout the body, developing new hosts.…

This infection can be transmitted through sexual contact with a person who has pubic lice, but just because it is “protected” sex does not mean that you cannot still get them. Surprisingly, pubic lice are neither bacterial nor viral but they are parasitic. Just to think about these little critters crawling around in my pubic area makes me…
Some hospitals give several different steps and information toward preventing the disease. The steps they give is to either not have sex or protect yourself with condoms, getting a vaccine shot, and reducing the number of sexual partners. Reducing the number of sex partners will help to protect yourself because you will be able to keep a close eye on your partner.
