Diseases that are transmitted by any form of intercourse are classified as sexually transmitted diseases.
Hundreds of people every day get affected by these sexually transmitted diseases without even knowing about it. And even if people know that they are affected, they don’t speak about it, especially because of the stigma associated with these sexually transmitted diseases. However, most people only know about the common STDs and have no idea about the many other diseases which can have severe symptoms and consequences in the end. It is important to make sure you are safe from other STDs, so you could also consult with your local clinic from a STD testing kit.
