1. Syphilis
Cause:
Syphilis is caused by bacteria called treponema, normally killed by soap and ordinary antiseptics. Indirect transmission therefore is not possible so the only way is sexual contact.
Prevention:
Since sexual contact is the only mode of transmission we should abstain from sexual contacts with those who are infected.
2. Gonorrhea
Causes:
Gonorrhea is caused by diplococcus bacteria called gonorrhea. It is transmitted only through sexual contacts.
Prevention:
To stop sexual contacts with those already infected.
3. Chancroid
Causes:
It is transmitted in two ways:
Sexual transmission through skin to skin contact with open pores.
Non-sexual transmission when pus like fluids from the infected are moved to the other parts of the body or to another person.
Prevention:
Being a bacteria infection that is spread by sexual contact with an infected person, avoid all forms of sexual activities. It is the only way absolute to prevent sexually transmitted diseases.
