STD and HIV 
Unfortunately, having an STD compromises your cells lining in the vagina, mouth and rectum. In fact, one of the signs of STDs is sores and wounds in the mouth and private parts. These open wounds create an easy passage for HIV even when you are just kissing or practicing oral sex
which is a rare way of getting HIV. Secondly, a person who has both HIV and STD carries more HIV virus on their sexual fluids so it’s easier to pass them to their sexual partner.
Unfortunately, there are many people out there who don’t know they are HIV positive so they run around having unprotected sex with unsuspecting partners and infect them.Even when two people are aware that they are HIV positive, it’s still important for them to continue using protection to protect themselves against STDs. Any small opportunistic infection can make someone with HIV very sick and reduce their lifespan tremendously.
