能治愈性传播疾病-害虫群袭
Curable STDs - Infestations

两种虫害侵扰性疾病常常通过性接触传播：阴虱（Pubic lice）和疥疮（scabies）。这两种性传播疾病，虽然不是真正地有危险，但令人烦不胜烦，大体上说，它们很容易被治愈。尽管如此，它们也是健康的威胁：美国国家过敏性与传染性疾病研究院 (NIAID)估计光美国每年就有3百万新感染的病例。这就意味着略微超过人口的1%受到了虫害的滋扰。许多其他居住条件拥挤的国家，感染虫害的人口数量会高许多。既然两种病都不值得报道，所以，精确的感染数字难以统计。可是，那些感染者也可能已经感染了另外的、更严重的性传播疾病，这就应该让医生做更彻底的检查了。

Two infestations are often transmitted by sexual contact: Pubic lice and scabies. Both of these STDs, while not really dangerous, are bothersome, and, in principle, they are easily cured. Even so, they are a health problem: The American National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) estimates that there are 3 million new cases annually in the USA alone. This would mean a little over one percent of the population. In many other countries with more cramped living conditions the numbers may well be much higher. Exact figures are hard to come by, since neither pubic lice nor scabies are reportable diseases. However, those affected may also have contracted other, more serious STDs and should therefore ask their doctors for a more thorough examination.
