    A sexually transmitted disease is not the same as genital disease. Most
genital diseases are not caused by sexually transmitted organisms. But most
sexually transmitted infections do involve the genitals. Infection of the
rectum, throat, and the eye are also common. Alot of sexually transmitted
diseases spread from a single place and produce sores on parts of the body. At

occur mainly in people 15 to 30 years of age. But sometimes people are born
