Summary Introduction
To describe:
Compare an HIV infection with another viral infection, which is considered in this chapter irrespective of mode of transmission. Why do untreated HIV infection always leads to death, whereas untreated cases of influenza, chicken pox, and hepatitis usually do not?
Introduction:
Sexually transmitted disease (STD) is referred to as a condition that spread from one person to another through sexual contact. STD also spread through direct contact with body fluids such as semen, blood, and vaginal fluids. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), Syphilis, chlamydia, genital warts, human papillomavirus, genital herpes, and gonorrhea are some examples of sexually transmitted diseases.
