The Damage of Unprotected Sex: STDs, Cancer and More

Abstract

Sexually transmitted diseases(STD)are infections that are passed from one person to another through sexual contact (Medline 2017). Men are most likely to receive a STD. The classic STDs (such as gonorrhea, syphilis, cancroid, and chlamydial infection) share a primary mode of transmission with HIV infection and may interact with HIV in other ways, especially because the presence of a STD seems to facilitate infection with HIV (Buve and Laga 1993).Unprotect sex is one of the leading factors of contractinga sexually transmitted diseases(STDs). Results show that men have a higher rate of STDs, which can potentially lead to prostate cancer. My hypothesis was supported, sexually transmitted diseases can lead to cancer. Having protected sex using a latex condom can minimize the anysexually transmitted diseases.
