STD testing has become a very common practice amongst sexually active people. Since the AIDS breakout and scare of the mid to late 1980s, people have become more aware of the dangers of unprotected, recreational sex. STD stands for Sexually transmitted diseases. Many STD strands have been around for hundreds of years and can be seen throughout history as being responsible for the death of millions of people. Mozart contracted syphilis from his sexual activity which eventually caused him to go insane as the STD slowly ate away at his brain. In order to keep yourself healthy, it is extremely important to have STD scans done regularly. In an ideal situation you would get to know the person that you are going to have a sexual relationship with and decide whether or not unprotected sex is a good idea. Protected sex involves the use of condoms. This protects both parties from contracting diseases and infection from each other. The reason that STDs are transferred so easily is because of the transfer of bodily fluids during sex. Many pathogens and viruses travel by way of these fluids and can infiltrate a body in a matter of hours. While some STD testing is extremely quick and easy, other tests are a little more involved and usually only used to verify suspicion of the presence or a certain STD. For example, the HIV virus can lay dormant in your system for years before it starts to attack the immune system. By this time, it is possible to have spread the virus to all of the people you have come into sexual contact with.
