What are the measures one has to take to prevent from contracting STDs ?
Solution and Explanation
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) get transferred from one individual to the other through sexual contact. Adolescents and young adults are at the greatest risk of acquiring these sexually transmitted diseases. Hence, creating awareness among the adolescents regarding its after-effects can prevent them from contracting STDs. The use of contraceptives, such as condoms, etc. while intercourse, can prevent the transfer of these diseases. Also, sex with unknown partners or multiple partners should be avoided as they may have such diseases. Specialists should be consulted immediately in case of doubt so as to assure early detection and cure of the disease.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases
The prevalence of STDs is very high in the age group of 15-24 Years. Sexually transmitted diseases can be transferred from one person to another person in many other ways also apart from sexual contact. Breastfeeding, and sharing of infected needles are majorly responsible for the spread of STDs. Some of the common STDs are gonorrhea, syphilis, genital herpes, hepatitis-B, AIDS, etc. Few STDs are remedial or curable while few are non-remedial or non-curable.
Curable STDs- Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Syphilis, Pubic Lice, Trichomoniasis,.
Non-Curable STDs- Herpes, HPV, AIDS
