Trichomoniasis is an infection caused by a single-celled parasite called Trichomonas vaginalis. In men, it affects the urethra (tube that brings the urine out from the body).
The parasite is one of the most common STD, and it is transmitted by unprotected sexual relationship with an infected partner, during vaginal, oral or anal sex. Sometimes, bacteria […]

There are more different kinds of herpes viruses, but only one can cause the genital herpes. Called HSV-2, it is transmitted by vaginal, anal or oral sexual contact, (not spread by objects […]
Another STD (sexual transmitted disease) is caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, simple called Gonorrhoea.
