Sometimes sexually transmitted diseases or STD’s may cause vaginal or cervical infections. A special culture or test must be done to diagnosis these types of infections.
Many STDs are easily spread through sexual contact or behavior like needle sharing. If you have a sexually transmitted disease your sexual partner will also need to receive medical treatment.
STDs include:
- Chlamydia
- Gonorrhea
- Genital herpes
- Genital warts

- HIV – human immunodeficiency virus which causes AIDS
