Non-genital STD's

I was wondering if there are any STD’s that don’t show up on the genitals, besides AIDS. I mean, diseases that are transmitted through sex, but the disease itself doesn’t do anything to the genitals. The disease targets another part of the body. So could anyone give me names of diseases like that?

Answer #1

Syphilis - the ulcer in the genitals is painless and thus may sometimes not be noticed if in concealed location. It will heal itself but then there can be a systemic illness at a later point in time. It can cause long terms problems in your blood vessels or central nervous system.

Hepatitis B virus also

HPV - Human papilloma virus - the above post mentioned this but its cervical cancer, not ovarian that is the risk.

Lice (crabs) - these can travel up to other regions of the body!!

Answer #2

yes hep c, and its nasty affects the liver, and sometimes is not curable, also women really have to watch out for HPV, guys have no symptoms and can transmit it, it can give you ovarian cancer, not to scare you, just be aware. and now the political name sometimes is sti’s so when you look it up try that.

Answer #3

Ok, thanks! Any more? I’ll look up STI’s now too, thanks.
