Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs)

Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs)
What are Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs)?
STDs, also called sexually transmitted infections or STIs, are diseases that you get by having intimate sexual contact, that is having sex (vaginal, oral, or anal intercourse), with someone who already has the disease. Every year, STDs affect more than 13 million people.
What are the different types of STDs?
Researchers have identified more than 20 different kinds of STDs, which can fall into two main groups:
STDs caused by bacteria - These diseases can be treated and often cured with antibiotics. Some bacterial STDs include: chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, and syphilis.
STDs caused by viruses - These diseases can be controlled, but not cured. If you get a viral STD, you will always have it. Some viral STDs include: HIV/AIDS, genital herpes, genital warts, human papilloma virus (HPV), hepatitis B virus, and cytomegalovirus.
What are the symptoms of STDs?
The symptoms vary among the different types of STDs. Some examples of common symptoms include:
Unusual discharge from the penis or vagina
Sores or warts on the genital area
Burning while urinating
Itching and redness in the genital area
Anal itching, soreness, or bleeding
If you are having any of these symptoms or think you might have an STD, talk to your health care provider.
How can STDs be prevented?
The only way to ensure that you won't get infected is to not have sex. This means avoiding all types of intimate sexual contact.
If you are sexually active, you can reduce your risk of getting STDs by practicing "safe sex." This means:
Using a condom for vaginal, oral, and anal intercourse—every time
Knowing your partner and his/her STD status and health
Having regular medical check-ups, especially if you have more than one sexual partner

I’m here to testify about what Dr Oseremendid for me. I have been suffering from (GENITAL HERPES VIRUS) disease for the past 4 years and had constant pain and inching, especially in my private part. During the first year, I had faith in God that i would be cured someday.This disease started circulating all over my body and I have been taking treatment from my doctor, few weeks ago I came across a testimony of Rose Smith on the internet testifying about a Man called Dr Oseremen on how he cured her from 7 years HSV 2. And she also gave the email address of this man, advise anybody to contact him for help on any kind of diseases that he would be of help, so I emailed him telling him about my (HSV 2) he told me not to worry that I was going to be cured!! Well, I never doubted him I have faith he can cure me too,, Dr Oseremen prepared and sent me Healing Oil, Soap, roots and herbs which I took. In the first one week, I started experiencing changes all over me, after four weeks of using his Roots/ Herbs, Oil and Soap, I was totally cured. no more inching , pain on me anymore as Dr Oseremen assured me. After some time I went to my doctor to do another test behold the result came out negative. So friends my advise is if you have such disease or know anyone who suffers from it or any other disease like HPV, HBV, HIV, ALS, HBP, CANCER etc. you can contact Dr oseremenfor help via dr.oseremenvadi@gamil.com or whatsapp +2349056394313
