What Are STD"s Only A Human Problem?

Sexually transmitted diseases/infections (STD/STI) are definitely a concern to anyone that wants to grow old in relative good health. My question is why are STD鈥檚 primarily exclusive to humans? My past and current pets (cats, dogs, horse, cows and chickens) have multiple partners in their lives and HIV, Hepatitis C, gonorrhea, Chlamydia, syphilis, etc.. has never been a concern.

Has the human immune system been altered by medications (antibiotics, immune suppressing drugs for transplant recipients, chemo drugs that kill healthy and diseased cells, etc..), modern medicine and trends of human behavior that include use of untested drugs?

Animals can have STD's, just like humans. However, their diseases are usually different than ours. The syphillis bug for humans does not do much damage to animals, just as their bugs do not do much damage to us. Even some plants have STD's.

i for one think they are

because animals are different from humans! in Gods creation it is the natural order of things for animals to act as animals and have more than one mate! because we have been disobedient by having sex with everyone and out of marriage God punishes us with diseases such as STD's because we are not in His natural order

Animal's can get std's............i don't know why you think they can't? I had a kitten i had gotten that was full of eye infection's because the mother cat had chlyamydia, and passed it onto her kittens. it cost me a ton of money for eye drops and antibiotics to cure the kitten so it did not lose it's vision. Horses get vd as well! You need to do some research because animal's do get vd.
