What Do STDs Look Like?

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are infections that spread from person to person through sexual contact.¹ These infections can manifest in a range of symptoms, including rashes, lesions, and warts.^2,3 In some cases, infected individuals may not show any symptoms at all, making it harder to diagnose and treat the disease.⁴ Additionally, STDs can be caused by viruses, bacteria, and parasites, each presenting different symptoms.¹ For instance, Herpes and Syphilis are caused by viruses and may result in sores or lesions in the affected area.^5,2 On the other hand, bacterial STDs such as Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, and Trichomoniasis may cause pain or burning during urination, as well as abnormal genital discharge.^6,7,8
