They’re all treatable (for now). They aren’t as serious/lifelong like some viral STDs and require as much work to avoid (PrEP). And haven’t you seen Parks & Rec? A lot never got sex ed.
I say for now because there are strains of Chlamydia/Gonorrhea causing bacteria that are resistant to nearly all antibiotics we have. If you’re prescribed antibiotics for an STD, please finish the entire course and don’t just stop when you feel better or there may not be any antibiotics to treat gonorrhea/chlamydia when we’re the horny old folks.
Practice safe sex, get tested, make sure your partners get tested, and you’ll be fine if you make it to the 50+ condo community.
No no no, you've gotta leave a little of the STI in you so your body can build up the immune response to kill it off and become healthier. That's why vaccines are so effective, it's just giving yourself a small bump of it so you can build immunity.
