Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) can have various effects on health, including causing discomfort and pain, increasing the risk of certain types of cancer, and affecting fertility and reproductive health. Some STDs can also lead to serious health complications if left untreated. For instance, untreated chlamydia or gonorrhea can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease, which can cause chronic pain and infertility. Syphilis can also have serious health consequences, including brain and organ damage. At Ending HIV Oklahoma, we believe in the importance of educating and empowering individuals to make informed decisions about their sexual health. We offer resources to help individuals understand the risks of STDs and the importance of prevention and regular testing. Let's work together to create a healthier and safer community.
