Can you get HIV from casual contact, like hugging, touching, sharing drinks or kissing? How DO you get HIV?


Millions of people are diagnosed with at least one sexually transmitted disease (STD), or infection (STI) in the United States each year.


Genital herpes can spread through direct, unclothed, skin-to-skin contact, including oral, vaginal and anal sex.


Herpes sores blister, then burst, ooze, they may scab, and will then heal. Sores may be confused with acne, fungal infections, and ingrown hairs.


Normal vaginal discharge varies in color, smell, consistency and amount. If there is a change in the discharge, an infection may be present.


STIs are the most common cause of genital sores, but allergic reactions, autoimmune disorders, fungal infections and many other conditions may, too.


Bumps in the genital area might be STDs, but are usually not serious. Treatment is usually for possible infection or to manage symptoms.
