why are STDs bad if they don't even have symtoms sometimes?!


Question: Why are STDs bad if they don't even have symtoms sometimes?
I am a teenager,no I don't have sex I'm just interested, Why are STDs SOOO HORRIBLE if they sometimes don't even have symtoms! It's confusing and blown out of portion.

Answers:

The ones which don't present with early symptoms are the worst since early detection is key in treating any disease. The problem is they don't go away on their own and eventually, they produce symptoms.
For example, the HPV virus causes cervical cancer. A woman can get infected and only develop cancer 15 years later. The virus is still present but it progresses very slowly. It doesn't produce any symptoms until pre-cancerous cells start to develop.



And also syphilis may show no symptoms and only years and years later can cause neurological issues . . . . think of all of the elderly that are confused many times it is actually due to an early infection of syphilis



Just because they don't smell or show outward signs doesn't mean they aren't damaging your reproductive organsd or worse, your immune system. People can have cancer for years and not know, does that mean it isn't dangerous?



uh, because some have no cure and you could DIE from them. duh!

dont be stupid. use protection
