There is no age limit for this disease, but are more common when a person is sexually active. For this reason, it is important to learn how to prevent sexually transmitted disease.
More than an embarrassment, it is a serious health problem. When this condition is left untreated, it can cause permanent problems like infertility and in some extreme cases, death. But,relax! There are ways to prevent sexually transmitted disease.
Sexual intercourse may not be the only way how the disease is transmitted. There are herpes and genital warts, which can infect another person through skin-to-skin contact. The virus can enter your body through blood transfusion as well. Some can affect the foetus from a diseased mother.

greater
is
the
risk
of
being
infected.
Sex
Partners

number

partner.
Hygiene

amount
of
hygiene
which

to
prevent
sexually
transmitted
disease.

sharing
towels
and
underclothes.
Make
it
a
habit
to
wash
your
private
area
before
and
after
intercourse.
Abstain
From
Strangers
Clearly,
the
best
way
to
prevent
sexually
transmitted
disease
is
to
abstain
from
it,
especially
if
the
person
is
a
stranger.
This
is
more
applicable
when
a
person
is
young
at
age.
Monogamy
Having
a
reliable,
uninfected
partner
is
sure
to
reduce
the
risk
of
the
infection.
A
long
term
relationship
with
this
person
is
sure
to
help.
This
should
be
the
condition
for
both
the
partners.
Verify
One
of
the
best
things
to
do
is
to
avoid
any
kind
of
intimate
contact
when
you
are
in
a
new
relationship.
Though
this
is
a
difficult
situation,
good
communication
can
help
with
this.

ways
to
prevent
sexually
transmitted
diseases
will
include
the
use
of
condoms.

are
condoms
that
are
made
of
natural
membranes,
which
are
more
effective.
Avoid
Alcohol
And
Drugs
Excessive
consumption
of
alcohol
and
the
usage
of
drugs
will
allow
a
person
to
be
more
at
risk
for
these
infections.
This
indeed
adds
to
the
risk
of
getting
infected
through
a
sexual
relation.
Communicate
It
is
always
necessary
to
have
a
good
communication
with
your
partner
on
practicing
safe
sex.
This
will
help
in
coming
to
an
agreement
with
the
things
to
do
during
a
sexual
contact,
without
spoiling
the
relationship.
