Where does STDs originate from? What causes the evolution of new strains of STDs?

http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,21554081-2703,00.html
This article, which I discovered today, has me pondering a lot about the originality of STDs and where do they come from? What variables causes the dramatic evolution of STDs? I am sure a lot of you older fellas remember the 1970's like it was yesterday...promiscuous, unprotected sex with many women, experimentations with mind-expanding drugs in a non-consequential environment, etc. Get an STD in the 70's, and a shot of Penicillin was the cure. Now today, in this hellish era, one must wrap its **** in a thick piece of rubber to prevent hundreds of different STD strains from invading the body, and still worry about STDs. And for youngins like me, that is VERY bad and frustrating news. Since I was born in 1986, I never got the chance to ripe the sows of that 70's era, so consider yourself lucky you old farts and bums ;)
But answer me...what is causing this hellish breakout of new strains of dangerous, viral STDs?
Is it man made by any chance, or simply the evolution of Darwinian nature of viral reproduction? Something tells me that virus and bacteria are micro-intelligent beings that reproduce and replicate just like humans.
Any thoughts?

Good question, but I think the STD's where with us for 1000's of years, just back then people didn't get treated and died or were killed for it. But I wouldn't be surprised if some were men made and it was just to make billions of dollars.
