Sexually transmitted diseases are an epidemic in Las Vegas, and are most prominent in the younger age groups and minorities. It is important that people who are sexually active be tested on a regular basis, particularly if they have multiple partners. Many of the STD's do not exhibit any symptoms in their early stages, yet are fully transmittable nonetheless.

One of the biggest problems is the lack of credible knowledge that people have about STDs. Much of what they know about the subject matter comes from peer groups and hearsay. They are not that concerned or there would not be so much unprotected sex which is what transmits the diseases.

When people become aware of the seriousness of a disease such as syphilis, for example, which in the latter stages can cause blindness, heart problems, mental illness, great pain, and even death, they start to take notice of what is going on.

This is why it is important for people to get tested and heed the advice of the medical professionals with whom they speak. Even if a person is 'cured' of and STD, they can catch it right back again by going out and conducting themselves in the same manner as before, when they first contracted the disease.
