Racial Patterns for Sexually Transmitted Diseases:

Racial Information for Sexually Transmitted Diseases: Some sexually transmitted diseases are more prevalent among Latinas than other women, too.

About inheritance and genetics:

Inheritance of Sexually Transmitted Diseases refers to whether the condition is inherited from your parents or "runs" in families. The level of inheritance of a condition depends on how important genetics are to the disease. Strongly genetic diseases are usually inherited, partially genetic diseases are sometimes inherited, and non-genetic diseases are not inherited. For general information, see Introduction to Genetics.
