Kind of self explanatory. Has the situation ever arisen where the prospect of an awakened sexually transmitted disease may have affected a PC? If so, give the juicy, gory details.
One idea I'd had in a previous game involved Herpes of a particularly nasty awakened variety that involved the bursting forth of spider-like creatures every 30 days. I look forward to seeing some of these. |

HSV-5, Augmentation. They don't call it the "male period" for nothing.

Sounds more like a Blow Fly Larvae infestation [some of which lay eggs in flesh, burrowing out though the skin]. |

Hmm, which book had spray-on condoms? Was that a Shadowrun thing or was it a Richard Morgan thing? Black Man maybe? Anyway, yeah, spray-on condoms FTW.

Diseases are the pwn. There's always the temptation to write an epidemiology sourcebook.

With the advances in medical technology, I'd assume that there'd be more treatments for a range of STD's (exclusively for the rich, of course).
I wonder if there's a symbiont that eats STI's. |

I'd love to see what an STD does to your aura. Beyond the emotional shame of having a case of the drips, I'd also imagine that it would subtly or perhaps unsubtly tint your aura.
Magical Singing Genital Herpes... Contact your local magical physician today! Transmetropolitan had some pretty decent STD's... |

Spray-on condoms appear in several SciFi books... ...I think Richard Morgan mentions them, as does Neal Asher. Life, the leading cause of death. If you have Life, you will die. In the immortal words of Judge Death... ..."The crime is life, the sentence is death!" |
