How many types of stds exist
9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Lots!: There are many different kinds of stds, including those caused by bacteria (like gonorrhea and chlamydia) and those caused by viruses (including herpes and hiv). You can limit your exposure to most STDs by using barrier forms of contraception (like condoms!), and since most are treatable (even if not curable), see a healthcare provider if you think you've been exposed.

STDs: Consider groups: bacterial (about 5); fungal (1); viral (around 8); parasites (~ 2); protozoal (1). So total there are about 17.
