The consequences are often underestimated, but they can be very dangerous for the wellbeing and health of those affected. For example, sexually transmitted diseases <\/strong>(STDs<\/strong>) can cause severe pain or leave permanent damage such as infertility, or even threaten the lives of those affected.<\/p>\n STDs can be transmitted in several ways \u2013 but mostly through sexual contacts<\/strong>. They are passed on through pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, or fungi<\/strong>. They are particularly problematic because, unfortunately, those affected do not always know that they have been infected. Often the symptoms do not show the beginning, which makes it possible to unknowingly pass on STD to others. Therefore, these diseases not only endanger the health of the affected themselves, but also the health of their sexual partners<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>
