Where did STI/STDs come from? Since they are created via giving to someone who has already contracted it
So where did they originate from?
In: Biology
It’s basically just a genetic mutation, the same way every other organism or disease evolves/is created. They just happen to be a type of infection that is most easily transmitted through sexual fluids.
An interesting way to think about it is say you have 6 dice and need to roll a 25 or higher to survive. If you get a 36 tho you survive and thrive. It’s also like Yahtzee where if you get a good roll you can keep your good dice and reroll the bad ones. If you get 4 6’s and 2 3’s, you can reroll the 3s and it might be better might be worse, but then you only keep the good ones so it slowly improves. A trait like being sexually transmitted would be for example a 35 because it’s really good and they are going to keep that. Basically there were tons of versions of the disease that weren’t sexually transmitted and then once one coukd be, it transmitted all over the place and spread and became common.
In actuality there are millions and millions of variations of every disease. Often two people with the same strain of the same disease have two slightly different diseases, it’s just not different enough that it really matters. The ones that do the best are the ones that spread the most and become common
