Yes: Stds or sexually transmitted diseases refer to a large number of different disease that are transmitted by sexual intercourse. Some stds are caused by bacteria (gonorrhea) and others are caused by viruses (herpes, hiv). See your doctor to help determine if you have an std and what type of std you have.
