Around 6% of the adult population in India is infected with sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) every year. STDs can spread from one infected person to another through intimate physical contact. These infections can migrate via oral, vaginal or anal sex. STDs in men are often asymptomatic or display extremely mild symptoms. Hence, it is possible to have an infection yet be unaware of it. That’s why it is important for sexually active individuals to take an STD test from time to time.
