Can one Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) turn into another one?
No. Although some sexually transmitted diseases may exhibit similar signs and/or symptoms, one disease does not become another. Sexually transmitted diseases may manifest with different symptoms at different stages of disease and could possibly become a source for co-infection for another disease (ex. Primary syphilis sore is a direct opening for HIV infection). Once a sexually transmitted disease has been diagnosed, it is extremely important to get medical treatment as soon as possible.
