sexually transmitted diseases, otherwise knownas stds are infections that are gifted during intimate acts. while they are generally curable nowadays,some are much more resilient, coming with a lifetime guarantee. they're not the easiest to catch, since youhave to be up close and personal to spread them. however, these diseases are very much prevalentaround us and when caught, can lead to serious consequences from ugly genital disfigurementsto life threatening complications. here we present to you the most contagiousstds in the world.
number 7: syphiliscaused by the bacteria treponema pallidum, syphilis is a common std with a notorioushistory. it is transmitted when direct contact is madebetween the small, painless sores on the mouth and the vagina, rectum, or genital area. syphilis progresses in three stages, beginningwith what we mentioned as the primary stage, with the development of sores mainly on thegenitals. it can then progress to a latent secondarystage, being symptomless for years and even decades. the final stage, known as the tertiary stageis a disabling and life-threatening point
with possible gruesome symptoms includingtumor-like balls of inflammation all over the body and bones, large sores on the skinand inside the body, internal bleeding, enlargement of the liver or spleen, deformations, lossof motor functions, seizures, dementia, aneurysm, and debt. between 1932 and 1972, the u.s. governmentran an infamous clinical study known widely today as the tuskegee syphilis experiment. under the guise of providing free health care,rural african american men in alabama were deliberately infected with syphilis via bloodin order to study the progression of the disease. the study was only terminated after a leakin the press resulted in public outcry.
the victims of the study, all african american,included numerous men who died of syphilis, 40 wives who contracted the disease, and 19children born with congenital syphilis. before the discovery of antibiotics, syphiliswas seen as a lethal incurable std, similar to how we see aids today. many historical figures are said to have hadthe disease in their lifetimes, including adolf hitler, beethoven, abraham lincoln,benito mussolini, and napoleon bonaparte. number 6: hiv/aidsthe human immunodeficiency virus (or hiv) is the virus associated with aids, a veryserious and potentially life-threatening disease that weakens the body's immune system, makingit unable to ward off infections, even the
simplest ones. hiv is only transmitted through the exchangeof bodily fluids including semen, vaginal secretions, blood, and breast milk. within months of contracting hiv, most ofthose afflicted suffer an endless list of flu-like symptoms, rapid weight loss, nightsweats, frequent skin infections, cold sores, and eventually, pneumonia. although aids is now somewhat manageable whentreated early with antiretroviral therapy, a cure has still not been found up until thisvery day. to make matters worse, many people infectedwith the virus may not exhibit symptoms for
years, making their unknown condition evenmore life-threatening. in november 1991, worldwide-known singer freddiemercury passed away due to aids-related complications. the lead vocalist of the rock band queen wasknown to have lived an active homosexual lifestyle, having had multiple partners throughout hislife. his official cause of debt was bronchial pneumonia,a typically curable illness that can prove lethal to immune-compromised individuals,especially those with aids. freddie mercury had only acknowledged hiscontraction of the disease a day before his debt; years after living a secluded life andrepeatedly denying rumors of his condition. other celebrities known to have suffered anddied from the same disease include actor anthony
perkins, actor rock hudson, and actress amandablake. number 5: herpesherpes comes in two forms. type 1—or "herpes of the mouth"—producescold sores and although it may be spread through intimate contact, it is not typically considereda sexually transmitted disease. type 2 however, or "herpes of the genitals"is the interesting one, as it can cause painful recurrent genital blisters and sores in bothsexes. the disease is transmitted skin to skin: forinstance from genital to genital, mouth to genital, or mouth to mouth contact with aninfected individual, even in the absence of visible sores.
currently the herpes virus itself cannot becured, although symptoms can be treated through the use of anti-viral drugs. the symptoms typically reoccur repeatedlythroughout the year for those who have caught it. it's incurability and repeated recurrencemakes it clear why herpes is the king of stds. in january 2015, 10-year-old briony klingbergfrom australia was diagnosed with a throat infection after becoming feverish. doctors failed to diagnose the open soreson her throat and sent her home, causing her condition to deteriorate.
it was only after her debt following a seizureand massive organ failure that her true condition was revealed: a case of herpes simplex virus. many living celebrities are reported to havecontracted genital herpes, among them are anne heche, derek jeter, jessica alba, parishilton, and britney spears. number 4: hpvhuman papilloma virus (or hpv) is quite possibly one of the most widespread std. studies show that a staggering three quartersof the sexually active population has had it at least once in their lifetimes, and roughlyone quarter of sexually active women are infected at any given time.
hpv is transmitted through vaginal sex, analsex, genital-to-genital contact, as well as oral sex. the virus produces genital warts in both sexesand may even lead to cervical cancer in women. other complications include rrp, a conditionwhere warts grow in the throat and will eventually cause breathing problems. like other viral-related stds, hpv infectionis considered incurable, with its symptoms controlled by medications such as antiviralsand vaccines. a report from 2009 showed nicaragua as oneof the countries with the highest mortality rates from cervical cancer.
the high debt count is revealed to be attributedto the rampant widespread of the human papilloma virus within the population, especially withthe country's lack of vaccination programs and poor healthcare services. some also blame the country's machismo culture,where the men tend to have multiple sex partners, thus furthering the spread of the disease. famous women known to have cervical cancerfollowing hpv infection include actress marissa jaret winokur and british reality tv starjade goody. winokur made a full recovery following a radicalhysterectomy while jade goody met her untimely demise in 2009 following years of health deterioration.
number 3: gonorrheagonorrhea (otherwise known as "the clap") is a common bacterial std. this long-term std can be transferred by anyof the body’s orifices: vagina, penis, anus, mouth, or eye. it mainly affecting sexual organs, such asthe female’s cervix and the male’s urethra, and other parts such as the throat. gonorrhea can be transmitted without penetration,such as with oral sex and the use of shared sex toys. symptoms include burning when urinating andwhite, yellow, or green discharges from the
penis and vagina. mothers with gonorrhea can also pass the diseasedown to their newborn babies during birth, causing blindness and possibly medley jointand blood infections. the cdc estimates that there are more than700,000 new cases a year in the usa alone, affecting african-americans the most. in february, 2014, a hancock county womanby the name of alexandria faye had her two daughters taken away from her by the departmentof human services (or dhs) and placed under the care of a foster home. after a few months, the two children, ages1 and 2, exhibited peculiar genital symptoms
and discharges, and were taken to a hospitalby dhs workers. the two were diagnosed with gonorrhea andshowed signs of sexual penetration, revealing that the two were sexually assaulted and contractedthe disease while in custody of the dhs. alexandria faye filed suit in u.s. districtcourt against the state department seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damagesfor pain and suffering, emotional distress, attorney's fees, and other damages. number 2: chlamydiachlamydia is the most commonly reported std with over a million cases annually in theu.s. alone. the bacterial transmitted disease is mostlysymptomless, with less than half of all reported
cases exhibiting symptoms. this means that there are many clueless peoplewalking around with the disease unknowingly, including your next sexual partner! this is also the reason why the disease isso prevalent and rampant, due to symptoms not showing sometimes even for months or years. like gonorrhea, it infects the cervix in womenand the penile urethra in men, with similar symptoms such as penile and vaginal discharge,as well as pain during sex. severe complications include pelvic inflammatorydisease in women and blindness in newborn infants traveling through their infected mother'sbirth canal.
in the summer of 2016, spain's magaluf resortexperienced an outbreak of chlamydia, affecting a large number of tourists vacationing inthe area. the resort—known for its promotion of hedonisticactivities such as binge drinking and uncontrolled sex parties—had reports of an incrediblesurge of chlamydia cases, with people dubbing it the "maga clap". magaluf wasn't the only tourist attractionwith the problem that year, as similar outbreaks occurred in rio, brazil during the summerolympics, affecting sexually active tourists and athletes alike. number 1: hepatitishepatitis is literally translated as “inflammation
of the liver.†the disease has several different types causedby different hepatitis viruses. although the different viruses are transmittedthrough various routes, they all cause damage to the liver. the type most often associated with sexualtransmission is hepatitis b, and to a lesser extent hepatitis c. those who exhibit symptomssuffer from muscle pain and fatigue, yellowing of the skin and eyes, nausea, and a distendedstomach. with chronic infection, hepatitis over timeleads to scarring of the liver tissue, cirrhosis, and eventually liver cancer.
although vaccination against the virus hasbeen developed, millions of new cases still occur every year worldwide. in late 2015, actress pamela anderson revealedthat she was cured of hepatitis c. twenty years earlier, she and her then-husband tommylee jones had contracted the disease, with doctors telling anderson she would die within10 years. luckily, zboth she and her ex-husband madeit through after undergoing years of treatment. not everyone has been as lucky though. among famously known people who have diedfrom the disease include actress veronica lake, musician ray charles, and politicianjoseph mccarthy.
