Which disease is commonly transmitted through sexual contact?

HIV/AIDS is primarily transmitted through sexual contact, making it a significant public health concern, especially in populations with high rates of unprotected sex. The virus is present in bodily fluids such as blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk, and it can be passed from one person to another during intimate sexual activities.

In contrast, pneumonia, malaria, and tuberculosis are not typically transmitted through sexual contact. Pneumonia is commonly caused by bacteria or viruses that spread through respiratory droplets. Malaria is transmitted by the bite of infected mosquitoes. Tuberculosis spreads through airborne particles when a person with the disease coughs or sneezes, rather than through sexual means. Therefore, HIV/AIDS stands out as the disease most associated with sexual transmission.
