Here, for your information, is a comprehensive guide to the most common sexually transmitted diseases across the length and breadth of the country and their associated treatments.
1. Gonorrhea
One of the most common sexually transmitted diseases in the United States is that of gonorrhea, and this has been the case for many years.
Gonorrhea has been around for many, many years and furthermore, became such a problem in England and Wales in the late nineteenth century that the parliament at the time passed a law to try and contain and eventually eradicate the diseases, which unfortunately they will evidently unable to do.
The bacteria which cause gonorrhea live in the moist and warmer areas of the body and the most common sign is some level of genital discharge. Treatments for gonorrhea always involve some form of antibiotics.
2. Genital Herpes
The most contagious sexually transmitted disease that exists across the length and breadth of this country and beyond is that of genital herpes.
There are essentially two different strains of the herpes virus: HSV-1 (herpes simplex type 1) and HSV-2 (herpes simplex type 2) and both are sexually transmitted and both causes large and painful sores in and around the genital area.

3. HPV
HPV, the medical name human papillomavirus, is one sexually transmitted disease which has soared in commonality in the last few years, mainly due to the fact that there is now a new preventative vaccine for the children who are under the age of 12.
In 2018, a CDC report was released which estimated that, in that year alone, there were approximately 43 million cases reported in the United States alone. It is important to point out that usually, HPV causes genital warts, but that in some cases, the warts do not develop to a visible point.
4. HIV
You will have no doubt heard of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) and are probably aware that, if anti-viral drugs are not regularly taken for the length of a person’s life, there is indeed a high chance that HIV will develop into AIDS, for which there is no cure.
A host of famous celebrities, as indeed thousands of ordinary people, died in the 1980s because of complications due to AIDS—some of the most famous people being Freddie Mercury, Kenny Everett, Rock Hudson, and Liberace. It is also important to point out that women are just as susceptible to developing HIV as their male counterparts.
