Question 1

which stds are permanent?

Accepted Answer

Few: Hiv is treatable, but not curable, yet.  Herpes does not have a cure, but there are treatments to decrease outbreaks and to decrease the risk of transmission.

Question 2

have questions about stds?

Accepted Answer

Post a question: Sexually Transmitted Disease. A person who does sexual-type activities with another person can give or receive (or both) germs that cause certain infections or diseases. Such diseases are called sexually transmitted diseases or sexually transmitted infections (STI). Usually, one can only catch an infection if the other person has that particular germ at the time of the sexual activities.

Question 3

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 4

Question 5

how many kinds of stds are there?

Accepted Answer

STD's: Herpes, Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), Hepatis B, Hepatitis C, HIV are viruses which can be spread sexually, Trichomonas is a  parasite, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea &amp; Syphilis are bacterial infections.

Question 6

could you catch stds from surfaces?

Accepted Answer

: They are called sexually transmitted for a reason. There are myths about acquiring them from toilet seats or other agents but with rare exception the germs die on exposed surfaces. I suppose if you were sharing a sex toy immediately with someone the infected material could transfer, but I would argue that is still transferred in a sex act.

Question 7

what all stds chronic and untreatable?

Accepted Answer

Few: Infections that are caused by bacteria (including gonorrhea and chlamydia) can be cured with antibiotics if they are caught early, while infections caused by viruses (like herpes, hiv, or hepatitis c) can often be controlled somewhat with medications but can't be completely eliminated from the body. Finding any kind of infection early is best, so see your healthcare provider if you are concerned!

Question 8

are there diseases that resemble stds?

Accepted Answer

Just get checked: Why ask this silly question when you already know the answer is "yes." just get checked out. Some std's are dangerous to you and some are dangerous to your partner(s).

Question 9

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 10

will i die from this std?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: Since you offer no specific information the answer is not specific. Most STD's are treatable and seldom fatal.Some can be depending on what the germ is, how and when it is found and how and if treated.
