I'm a 40-year-old guy, married, and I've just been told I have an STD. I'm trying to understand what symptoms to look out for in men so I can see if they match up. Is this something that'll affect me for the rest of my life? Could I actually die from this? And after getting treatment, is there a chance it'll come back? Also, can I pass it on to someone else?
