Human
 Papillomavirus:
 There
 are
 more
 than
 100
 types
 of
 HPV
 and
 some
 of
 them
 may

put
 you
 in
 risk
 of
 cancer.
 These
 types
 affect
 genitals
 and
 are
 contracted
 by
 sexual
 contact
 with

and
 infected
 partner.
 Low-­‐risk
 HPV
 cause
 genital
 warts
 while
 High-­‐risk
 HPV
 cause
 cancers
 of

the
 cervix,
 vulva,
 vagina,
 and
 anus
 in
 women
 and
 in
 men
 can
 lead
 to
 cancers
 of
 the
 anus
 and

penis.
 The
 genital
 warts
 can
 be
 treated
 or
 removed
 by
 a
 doctor.
 While
 there
 is
 no
 cure
 for
 HPV,

vaccines
 for
 this
 virus
 greatly
 reduce
 the
 probability
 of
 contracting
 the
 infection.

Syphilis: Bacteria
 that
 infect
 genital
 area,
 lips,
 mouth,
 or
 anus
 of
 both
 men
 and
 women

cause
 this
 disease.
 It
 is
 contracted
 during
 sexual
 contact
 with
 an
 infected
 person
 and
 also
 a

pregnant
 woman
 can
 pass
 it
 to
 her
 baby.
 Lots
 of
 people
 do
 not
 experience
 symptoms
 for
 a

while
 and
 the
 First
 stage
 are
 some
 painless
 sores
 and
 swelling
 in
 lymph
 nodes.
 If
 it
 is
 not

treated,
 a
 non-­‐itchy
 rash
 appears
 on
 hands
 and
 feet.
 Symptoms
 may
 come
 a
 go
 for
 a
 long
 time.

The
 sores
 that
 syphilis
 cause
 makes
 it
 easier
 for
 a
 person
 to
 give
 someone
 HIV
 during
 sex.
 If

pregnant,
 babies
 can
 have
 horrible
 defects
 and
 even
 die.
 It
 is
 easily
 to
 cure
 with
 antibiotics
 if
 it

is
 diagnosed
 rapidly.
If
 you
 contract
 STDs
 caused
 by
 bacteria
 or
 parasites
 you
 can
 cure
 them
 with
 antibiotics
 but

when
 contracting
 STDs
 caused
 by
 viruses,
 there´s
 no
 cure
 at
 all.

 It
 is
 recommended
 to
 have

protected
 sex
 to
 avoid
 these
 infections
 that
 will
 damage
 your
 body
 for
 the
 rest
 of
 your
 life.

Latex
 condoms
 are
 recommended
 because
 they
 greatly
 reduce,
 but
 do
 not
 completely

eliminate,
 the
 risk
 of
 catching
 or
 spreading
 STDs.
 If
 you
 think
 you
 have
 done
 something
 that

may
 put
 you
 at
 risk,
 you
 should
 immediately
 attend
 your
 doctor
 to
 have
 a
 test
 and
 see
 if
 you

contracted
 an
 infection
 and
 take
 a
 treatment
 to
 control
 it
 faster.
