Interesting ?: Chlamydia, herpes and gonorrhea are among the most common, but difficult to know the true frequency of HIV disease because of the often delayed recognition. Syphilis is less common. Trichomonas may also be in the top 5.

Testing: You did not list symptoms or exposure history. Even if you did, you need a local evaluation to confirm or exclude this collection of diagnoses. Only with a review of exposure history, exam and testing can this be answered with confidence.

Where did sexually transmitted diseases originate from?

Dr. Hunter Handsfieldanswered
Infectious Disease 55 years experience
Evolution at work!: Same as for most infections. There are billions of bacteria and viruses that inhabit our bodies, mostly beneficial or at least harmless but sometimes causing disease. The STDs are caused by some that evolved to cause disease, to survive best in the genital tract, and to require human intimacy for transmission. In other words, they evolved with humans as we ourselves evolved from earlier ancestors.

A 18-year-old male asked:
I was having mastrubation session, common housefly landed on my exposed glands. I didn't realize it at first so it was there for maybe 30 seconds. My question is will I be ok, do they carry any sexual disease or lay maggots inside or around foreskin?
Dr. Silviu Pasniciucanswered

You will be OK if housefly identified correctly and there was no insect bite, regular hygiene (water and soap) would address your worries.
