HIV/AIDS & STDs Information

Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) are a group of infections primarily known for being transmitted through sexual contact, including anal, oral, or vaginal intercourse. These diseases encompass a wide range of infections, some of which can have serious health consequences if not treated promptly and effectively. Common STDs include chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis, each caused by different pathogens but often sharing similar modes of transmission.

In addition to sexual contact, some STDs, notably HIV and Hepatitis B, have alternative transmission routes. These diseases can be spread through the sharing of drug injection equipment, such as needles and syringes. This mode of transmission is particularly concerning as it allows the diseases to spread in populations that might not otherwise be at high risk for sexual transmission. It highlights the importance of comprehensive approaches to prevention, including safe sex practices and harm reduction strategies for drug users.

The risks of STDs underscore the importance of education and awareness in preventing these infections. Regular screening, safe sex practices, and the use of sterile equipment when injecting drugs are crucial steps in mitigating the spread of these diseases. Public health campaigns often focus on these aspects, emphasizing the need for individuals to be proactive in protecting themselves and others from STD transmission.

We provide a welcoming, safe space – an inclusive home that celebrates, nurtures and empowers the LGBTQ communities and our friends and neighbors in South Florida.
