Sexually transmitted diseases

Infectious diseases that are mostly transmitted by sexual intercourse are referred to as sexually transmitted diseases. Some of the classical sexually transmitted diseases are gonorrhoea, syphilis, ulcus molle and lymphogranuloma venereum, which together only account for about 10 percent of all sexually transmitted diseases. Beyond that nowadays occur as sexually transmitted diseases: chlamydia infections, trichomaniasis, genital herpes, herpes, scabies, genital warts and AIDS. Also other diseases, such as Hepatitis B and candidiasis, can be transmitted by sexual intercourses, but they are no exclusively sexually transmitted diseases. Nowadays a general notification for sexually transmitted diseases, except for syphilis-infected persons, who avoid treatment, does not exists.
