Diagnostic Testing of STDs; Help Identify the Cause & Type of the Disease or Infection

 

Diagnostic testing of STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) can identify the cause and detect confections’ an individual may also have. Blood tests can confirm the diagnosis of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) or later stages of syphilis. Urine samples can confirm some sexually transmitted infections (STIs), whereas fluid samples can diagnose the type of infection. STDs are considered as one of the most critical health challenges worldwide. Herpes simplex virus, gonorrhea, and chlamydia are some of the highly prevalent STDs. Worldwide, more than one million STIs are acquired every day, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

The rates of newly diagnosed cases of STDs, including gonorrhea and chlamydia, are important for prevention and control of these diseases. Gonorrhea is one of the most common venereal diseases in the world. In recent years, the number of infections has increased significantly in Germany, and the number is still rising. However, diagnostic testing of STDs that are provided by the German health authorities vary across the country. Each city's authority outlines their services online. Sexually transmitted diseases or sexually transmitted infections caused by sexually transmitted bacteria are easier to cure than viral infections. However, they also pose a lot of risks to the health, especially if left untreated.

A person can become infected with sexually transmitted diseases by having unprotected sex with an infected person. Some are highly contagious and can cause death if left untreated. Few STDs are bacterial and viral. These infections usually do not show any symptoms. Medically, when the symptoms are diagnosed through diagnostic testing of STDs, a patient is said to be suffering from a STD. STDs are the infections that can be transmitted from one person to another during oral, anal, and vaginal sex. In some cases, STDs can also be transmitted through breastfeeding, childbirth, and shared usage of needles. Thus, it is important to screen for STDs.
