Millions of people are diagnosed with at least one sexually transmitted disease (STD), or infection (STI) in the United States each year.

The first signs of HIV, called Acute Retroviral Syndrome (ARS), may feel like the flu, with body aches and a fever. It can last a up to a few weeks.

Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex. Condoms greatly reduce the chances of transmission, but do not eliminate them.

Condoms, when used correctly and consistently, are the most effective way to prevent HIV and STDs.

Discharge may not be normal, and could mean an infection or an STD, especially with burning, pain, itching or urinary frequency.

Bumps in the genital area might be STDs, but are usually not serious. Treatment is usually for possible infection or to manage symptoms.

Normal vagin*l discharge varies in color, smell, consistency and amount. If there is a change in the discharge, an infection may be present.

Can I get HIV from surfaces, like toilet seats, doorknobs, shared drinks or pools? How long can HIV live outside the human body, or it's host?

The CDC recommends that everyone test at least once, and you should test more often if you have multiple sex partners or use needles for drug use.

STIs are the most common cause of genital sores, but allergic reactions, autoimmune disorders, fungal infections and many other conditions may, too.
