Extractions: Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) Some 56 million Americans have an STD other than AIDS and many more are infected each year. The causative bacterial viral, or parasitic agents are spread primarily by sexual contact, but may also be spread by the use of infected needles. Some STDs are chronic infections, but many can be cured. Quick diagnosis and treatment are often the keys to cure. The only 100% prevention is abstinence. Maintaining faithful monogamous relations with one's spouse is effective, provided both partners are free of STDs. Safe sex (use of a condom ) with a monogamous partner is the next best protection against STDs. Always remember that prevention is better than therapy. Bacterial: Gonorrhea ("clap"), a common disease worldwide, is caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae . There are over 650,000 new cases in the U.S. each year. 82% of cases of gonorrhea occur in teenagers and young adults, and females are twice as likely to become infected after one act of intercourse with an infected male as males are after one act of intercourse with an infected female. Gonorrheal infections may be asymptomatic in both sexes.
