STDs

Take the attitude of a Student, never be too big to ask questions, never know too much to learn something new. ~ Augustine Og Mandino 

I would like to encourage you to never stop learning. Every knowledge is an added advantage. 

How are you ? How was your week? I know it’s been a tough one for Nigerians given the fact that you can’t even spend the money you have. This too shall pass. 

As promised, we will continue the series of topics listed in the google form responses. Feel free to add yours (check previous mails for the link) 

Today, we will talk about SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS/DISEASES (STD’s). 

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are also commonly called sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). They are the infections you get from another person through sexual contact. There are more than 20 known types of STD’s. About half of these people are age 15-24. Luckily, most STDs can be treated and cured.
