STD or the sexually transmitted diseases can be divided into several groups according to their pathogenic causes;
BACTERIAL STDs-- Chancroid (Haemophillius ducreyi); Chlamydia infection (Chlamydia trachomatis); Donovanosis (Granuloma inguinale or Calymmatobacterium granulomatis); Gonorrhea (Neisseria gonorrhoeae); Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) (Clamydia trachomatis serotypes L1, L2, L3); Non gonococcal urethritis (NGU) (Ureaplasma urealyticum or Mycoplasma hominis); Syphilis (Treponema pallidum); etc.

PARASITES STDs—These STDs are pubic Lice or more popularly known as the crabs (Phthirius pubis); Scabies (Sarcoptes scabiei) etc.
FUNGAL STDs-- Candidiasis (thrush) (Candida albicans) which can be sexually transmitted but not strictly an STD.
PROTOZOAL STDs-- Trichomoniasis (Trichomonas vaginalis)
Most of the common visible symptoms of STDs can be found either on the genitals or in and around the mouth. Some of the most common STD symptoms as reported by the physicians are itching around the vagina and/or discharge from the vagina for women; Discharge from the penis for men; Pain during sex, when urinating and/or in the pelvic area; Sore throats in people who have oral sex; Pain in the anus for people who have anal sex; Chancre sores (painless red sores) on the genital area, anus, tongue and/or throat; A scaly rash on the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet; Dark urine, loose, light-colored stools, and yellow eyes and skin; Small blisters that turn into scabs on the genital area; Swollen glands, fever and body aches; Unusual infections, unexplained fatigue, night sweats and weight loss; Soft, flesh-colored warts around the genital area.
Since the symptoms of STDs can vary from one person to another, the best way to know for sure whether people are infected or not with an STD is to have a medical examination. It is not actually that much difficult to prevent becoming infected with an STD. The risk of getting infected by the diseases can be reduced by using condoms during vaginal and anal sex. It has been scientifically proven by the researchers that condoms help prevent HIV and other major STDs. Nevertheless some common STDs like herpes, pubic lice and wart virus can be spread by simple skin to skin contact. In order to be effective the condom or other protections must be used every time people have sex. Or people can think about these other solutions like not having sex at all; now the matter is up to the individual to decide whether they want to have sex or not. People can also have sex only in ways that do not present any sort of risk of catching a major STD, like kissing, mutual masturbation or whatever they can think of.
People should have sex with only one partner always (monogamous relationship). STDs are a growing problem in modern society and diseases like Chlamydia, Herpes, and Hepatitis are all over the place. People can contract all of these occurrences from having sex with someone that is infected. The high risk regular sexual lifestyle that today's society has become accustom to is the reason that these STD's are spreading so rapidly. Knowing what actually STD symptoms to look for will help people to deal with these diseases properly. Like, Herpes is the most common STD as reported. Just about every adult has some form of herpes symptoms and many others have no idea that they have it at all. This sexually transmitted disease is often associated with sores on the mouth or cold sores and the same sores on the genitals. There is not any actual cure for herpes but breakouts can be treated with proper medication that the doctor can prescribe for the sufferer.
