The following are some of the more common S.T.Ds in the United States.
- Chlamydia. Chlamydial diseases are caused by microscopic organisms that belong to the family chlamydia (pronounced kluh-MID-ee-uh). Two common chlamydial infections are nongonococcal (not gonorrhea) urethritis (NGU) and nonspecific urethritis (NSU). Urethritis (pronounced YOOR-ih-THRY-tiss) means an inflammation of the urethra.
- Gonorrhea. Gonorrhea (pronounced gahn-uh-REE-uh) is caused by a microorganism called Neisseria gonorrhoea (pronounced ny-SEER-ee-uh gahn-UH-ree-uh). It is easily cured when treated properly.
- Genital warts. Genital warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). It is the single most important risk factor for cervical cancer in women (see cancer entry).
- Syphilis. Syphilis (SIF-uh-liss) is caused by a microorganism called Treponema pallidum (pronounced trep-uh-NEE-muh PAL-ee-um). Like most STDs, syphilis can be cured if treated promptly and correctly. However, when left untreated, it can cause serious damage to the body and even death.
- Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. HIV is the virus responsible for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome or AIDS (see AIDS entry). No cure is presently available for HIV infection. However, major steps have been made in finding ways to control the disease.
