Question 1

from where did stds originate?

Accepted Answer

Man/woman's origin: From the birth of this planet, by whatever means one believe's in, bacteria and viruses have existed.They have predated man's existence, and have survived frozen in ice for "zillions of years" and still retained their infective capacity. Std's are transmitted by viruses and bacteria from human contact(man to woman or any other combination) and will be with our planet until it no longer exists.

Question 2

where did stds/stis actually originate from?when did it begin?how come there were many conquerors throughout history that managed to populate large regions and lived a long life?if it has always existed why is it a big issue now?or is it overblown?

Accepted Answer

: Never use abbreviations in medicine it can be deadly. STDS may mean sexually transmitted disease screening or plural for STD?? STIS = Sexually Transmitted Infections or plural for STI??

I can tell you when I was looking for a job in Saudi years ago the government stated there were no STDs in Saudi because it was illegal/unethical to have sex outside of marriage.  Things must have changed a lot.

Question 3

is it stds??

Accepted Answer

Dr. can check urine: There are many signs that may suggest depression, such as:  feelings of sadness or hopelessness, angry outbursts or irritability, loss of interest in normal activities, sleep disturbances, tiredness or a lack of energy, either weight gain or weight loss due to appetite changes, anxiety or restlessness, slowed thinking, feeling worthless, etc...  Seeing one's primary care doctor is a good start.

Question 4

do e.r. treat std?

Accepted Answer

Yes: You can be treated for an std in an er, but sometimes an urgent care center or std clinic will have a shorter wait.

Question 5

is sti like an std?

Accepted Answer

STD/STI: Sexually transmitted illness (sti) = sexually transmitted disease (std).

Question 6

could i have a std?

Accepted Answer

Maybe. Maybe not.: A woman who's been having "s" with another person, might have allowed the other person to "t" some sort of "d" to her. So, a woman who has had sex (even once) with another person, indeed could have a sexually transmitted disease... But only if the other person had an std at the time of sex.

Question 7

signs of std in male?

Accepted Answer

STI's (STD's): It depends on the sti's (sexually transmitted infections) you are referring to. Painful or painless rash. Burning on urination. Penile discharge. Some sti's can be fairly asymptomatic and thus testing is your best bet to know if you have one (or more than one).

Question 8

how do you catch std?

Accepted Answer

Sexual activity: You can only catch an std by having sexual contact with another person. This can be from vaginal, oral or anal sex. Some diseases are passed from passing fluid from one person to the other. Others are passed from skin to skin contact.

Question 9

does garlic cure std?

Accepted Answer

No: Garlic is good for you, but it's not a cure for anything. It might prevent stds by driving potential sex partners away.

Question 10

can i get a std orally?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely: Many std's can be transmitted through oral sex including: herpes simplex, syphilis, hiv, gonorrhea, hpv & chlamydia. It is always best to know your std status & that of your partner(s). Getting tested at a clinic can help relieve anxiety about std's. Otherwise using a method of barrier protection (ie. Condom or dental dam) during oral sex will significantly reduce your chances of getting an std.
