Gu Fangyu said common sexually transmitted diseases include AIDS, syphilis, HPV, human papilloma virus (also known as cauliflower), herpes, trichomoniasis, mycoplasma, chlamydia, and vaginal flagellates.
He then recalled that the symptoms of different STDs vary greatly and can sometimes be difficult to detect due to the incubation period.If there are abnormal genital secretions, unknown skin rashes, painful urination and other symptoms, you should be more alert.
Immunocompromised “incubation period” before symptoms appear
The incubation period refers to the time between receiving the pathogen infection and the onset of the disease. Some sexually transmitted diseases, such as cauliflower and gonorrhea, do not appear immediately after being infected, but they do not show symptoms until the immune system is weakened.
The “window period” cannot be detected immediately after infection
Window Period: Refers to the time after receiving the pathogen infection until the STD test can be detected. Some sexually transmitted diseases, such as AIDS, cannot be detected immediately after being infected with the virus. This period of time is called the window period.
Gu Fangyu added that STD testing methods depend on several diseases.Generally, urine, blood and cotton swab screening are the main STD screening methods and reports are generally available 5- 7 days after the test.
