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
To quote a genius, “Life…uh…finds a way…”
It’s complicated though, because viruses (lots of STIs are viral) aren’t technically alive.
The easiest way to think about it though is in terms of ecological niches. Humans are a big ass niche, and sex is a good way to spread between hosts, so we get STDs. It’s not because the STI cares, it just wants to colonize new territory, and it has various strategies for doing so, and, unfortunately, they’re often unpleasant for us the hosts..
