These can be transmitted through having unprotected sexual intercourse with an infected person. According to Rebecca Masoro, a school nurse, STDs can also be contracted from sharing of basins and using the same urinals and toilets with people who are already infected.
“you need to be so conscious while in public toilets as STD and STI’s can also be got from bathrooms and toilets,” she says.
Signs of Sexually Transmitted Infections
Masoro notes that some of the signs include;
Itching of private parts
Discharge of smelly fluids

Pain when passing out urine.
“A number of people usually get these complications and keep them to themselves not until the situation intensifies. its very important to visit a doctor in case of these signs to avoid worse situations.
