Most chlamydia is asymptomatic (no symptoms), but if left untreated can cause pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and chronic pelvic pain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Urine test is often used to test for chlamydia and treated with a prescription antibiotic. It can be prevented with proper and consistent use of barrier devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gonorrhea:<\/strong>\u00a0is transmitted through sexual contact with penis, vagina, mouth or anus of an infected partner. Ejaculation does not have to occur for gonorrhea to be acquired. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gonorrhea is often asymptomatic (no symptoms), but if left untreated can cause infertility in and spread to other parts of the body.

Most people don\u2019t have symptoms but can still spread to their sexual partners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also possible to get genital herpes if you receive oral sex from a partner who has oral herpes. There is no cure for herpes, but medications can help prevent or shorter outbreaks. It can be prevented with proper and consistent use of barrier devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>HIV\/AIDS:<\/strong>\u00a0Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) destroys the important cells in the human body that help fight disease and infection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HIV is spread through sexual contact, sharing needles to inject drugs, and mother to baby during pregnancy, birth or breastfeeding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AIDS is the most severe phase of HIV infection.
