In Australia a group of researcher is working on a Chlamydia vaccine for Koalas as a step towards a human vaccine. With still three more trials needed to get the vaccine completed, the team is envisioning the potentials for humans. But the goal is to find antigens that are conserved across all Chlamydia species. But for now, thankfully , some STIs can be cured using antibiotics. But like all drugs, antibiotics are tested on animals before they can be given to humans.

These tests help understand the efficacy of the drug, but also the side effects and the dosage. Doxycycline is one of the main antibiotics given to cure Gonorrhoea, syphilis and Chlamydia. Animal studies have shown that the drug can be dangerous for pregnant women and their foetus, as it can cross the placenta. Overall, animal testing remains crucial for ensuring new drugs and vaccines against STIs are safe for humans. Some passages of the Bible say much about the sexual behavior of the ancient Hebrews.

The writings of the Greek and Roman physicians and of their satiric poets Martial, Juvenal, Ovid described diverse genital diseases. Celsus described various diseases of the genitals, that he called the "obscene parts". Galen made a strange description of the female genitals and coined the term gonorrhea - flow of semen.
