Sexually Transmitted Diseases or STDs are one of the most under-recognized health problems in the country today. With over 65 million people currently living with a lifelong incurable disease and about 15 million more becoming infected each year STDs are clearly a serious issue. Most people are unaware of the risks and consequences of un-protected sex and the common signs and symptoms of an STD. With $16.6 billion in expenditures both medical and non-medically related STD services and materials it is time that we all became more educated and aware.
