Thanks for your query.

Venereal diseases are just another name for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). These infections are caused by various viruses, bacteria and parasites. There are different types of VD diseases. Some of them are mentioned below!

Human papillomavirus: It is the most commonly found STI in US. This infection causes genital warts and also increases the risk of suffering from cervical cancer.
