Sexually Transmitted Disease Genetic Test (STD DNA Test)

The symptoms and effects of STDs vary by sex.

Some STDs can affect the reproductive organs, leading topain or fertility issues of varying severity. Without timely treatment, they can spread to other organs of the body and cause complications.

There is also some chancethat STDscan be passed on to babies, so it is important to deal with such issues as soon as symptoms appear.

Syphilis
Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the spirochete bacterium Treponema, subspecies pallidum (Treponema pallidum). The primary route of transmission is through sexual contact (vaginal or anal); however, it may also be transmitted from mother to foetus during pregnancy or at birth, resulting in congenital syphilis.
Gonorrhoea
Gonorrhoea is a common sexually transmitted disease (STD). Gonorrhoea is caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, a bacterium that can grow and multiply easily in the warm, moist areas of the reproductive tract, including the cervix (opening to the womb), uterus (womb) and fallopian tubes (egg canals) in women, and in the urethra (urine canal) in both women and men. The bacterium can also grow in the mouth, throat, eyes and anus, so it can be transmitted by oral, vaginal and anal sex.
AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome)
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that causes AIDS. It affects a person’s immune system and reduces the ability to fight infection. HIV is the virus itself and AIDS is the end point of untreated HIV infection. People can be infected after having unprotected sexual intercourse or sharing injecting equipment with someone who has the virus. HIV is contained in bodily fluids such as blood, semen and vaginal secretions. However, the medical consensus is that HIV is not transmitted by oral sex.
Human Papillomavirus (HPV)

HPV is a common virus that can be found on skin and spread through skin contact. There are over 200 types of HPV. Over 30 types cause infections in the genital area and spread through sexual contact.

These genital types can be classified into 2 groups: high and low risk. The high-risk group refers to types that can cause cervical cancer and about 70% of cervical cancer is commonly caused by genotypes 16 and 18. The low-risk group refers to types that cause genital warts and about 90% of genital warts are caused by genotypes 6 and 11.

Genital Herpes
Genital herpes is an STD that is mainly caused by the herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2). Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) usually lead to oral herpes, althoughin some cases oral herpes can be spread from mouth to genitals.Herpes virus is an infectious virus which can present as blisters on the skin in different forms such as chicken pox, cold sores or genital herpes. There is a chance of getting genital herpes from unprotected vaginal, anal or oral sex with someone who has HSV-2. Through oral sex, oral herpes caused by HSV-1 can be passed to the genitals, causing genital herpes.
Genital Ulcers and Detection
Genital ulcers can be caused by infection, trauma, cancer and allergies. Some of the causes are unknown. The most common causes are sexual transmission of syphilis, chancroid infections and genital herpes.
UreaplasmaUrealyticum

This bacterial infection affects about 30-70% of sexually active men and women. It is not generally classified as a sexually transmitted infection because it is so common in the population and most people with the bacterium do not show any symptoms or signs of infection. It is instead referred to as a sexually transmittable infection (STI), in contrast to classic STDs such as chlamydia and gonorrhoea, which involve bacteria that are not normally present in the body.

However, the bacteria can cause similar complications to chlamydia and gonorrhoea, such as pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility.

Hepatitis

Hepatitis is an inflammatory condition of the liver. It is commonly caused by a viral infection, but there are other possible causes of hepatitis. These include autoimmune hepatitis and hepatitis that occurs as a secondary result of medications, drugs, toxins and alcohol. Autoimmune hepatitis is a disease that occurs when your body makes antibodies that against your liver tissue.
