What is STD Risk Assessment
Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) are infections that spread through sexual contact from one individual to another, primarily through sexual intercourse. The infected person spreads the disease through blood, sperm, vaginal, and other body fluids. The infection is caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites. STDs can also be transmitted through Intravenous injections, childbirth, pregnancy, and because of reusing the needles.
STD risk assessment blood test is recommended if one is sexually active or has one or more sexual partners. STD risk assessment check-ups will confirm if there is any STD disease. It’s also recommended to go for screening if someone shows any symptoms of STD like vaginal discharge, urethral discharge, genital ulcers etc.

HIV and AIDS: Human immunodeficiency virus, also called HIV, causes HIV disease.

HIV disease may lead to AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome).HIV viruses enter the body of a healthy individual through one of the following routes. Unprotected sex, by blood transfusion, or by sharing needles. HIV damages the immune system, which in turn decreases the body’s ability to fight diseases. Common symptoms of HIV include an increase in body temperature, aches and pain, a decrease in weight, enlarged lymph nodes, and so on.
Hepatitis B and C: HBV and HCV are sexually transmitted diseases but can spread easily through other ways by contaminated needles, injections, saliva, and sharing household items with the infected people.
Syphilis: This is a sexually transmitted disease caused by Treponema pallidum bacteria and is contagious. A small, painless sore called chancre is the first sign of syphilis. It can manifest itself inside the mouth, genitals, or rectum.
Herpes: Genital herpes is a contagious sexually transmitted disease caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). The common symptom is painful fluid-filled blisters that can break and ooze liquid.
Chlamydia and gonorrhea are common types of STD since they can exist without any symptoms, which can make them very difficult to detect. It can also spread easily from one person to another. In women, symptoms include painful periods, pain while urinating, pain during sex, and abnormal discharge.
