    Some are yes.

    Chlamydia is a bacterial infection that affects millions of men and women. It may be difficult to detect chlamydia; about 75 percent of women and 20 percent of men with the disease have no symptoms, but they can still infect their sex partners. If symptoms do show up, they occur 1 to 3 weeks after exposure to the bacteria. In women, symptoms may include vaginal discharge or irregular menstrual bleeding, pain when urinating, or lower abdominal pain. In men, there may be a discharge from the penis and pain when urinating.

    Trichomoniasis is a bacterial infection that is spread through sexual contact. In women, the bacteria usually infect the vagina or urethra. In men, infections can develop in the urethra or under the foreskin of the penis.

    Gonorrhoea is one of the more common sexual infections. It is caused by bacteria and can infect the vagina, cervix, urethra, rectum or even the throat. It is important to have it treated because it can eventually cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women and inflamed testes or prostate in men.
