What Will Happen if I Get an STD?

Many STDs can be cured and all STDs can be treated to control the symptoms. But no matter what STD it is you are diagnosed with, you may experience a whole bunch of different emotions.

Many people report feeling ashamed, they don't want to tell anyone because of how embarrassing it feels. Partners often feel betrayed, or like victims. Some people may even try to deny that they have been diagnosed with an STD.

The truth of the matter is, people who are diagnosed with STDs are not bad people. They are not dirty, and they are not alone. Sexually transmitted diseases are very common.
