STDs are transmitted through intimite contact without the use of protection such as a condom. Major reasons for a current resurgence in STDs in the United States is lack of education, both about prevention and about testing; beginning sexual activity at younger ages; commercialization and acceptance of casual sex with multiple partners; and stigmitization of individuals known to have STDs.
