Sexually transmitted diseases happen to everyone

Sometimes people think that sexually transmitted diseases only happen to people in a lower socio-economic strata, but the fact is that these diseases show no preference for one economic or racial group as opposed to another. Everyone is at risk for catching or transmitting a sexually transmitted disease which is why everyone needs to be responsible about their behavior when having sex
