Explanation:

• 1. STD that results in death: HIV/AIDS (Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) is a viral infection that attacks the immune system. Without proper treatment, it can lead to life - threatening opportunistic infections and cancers, ultimately resulting in death.
• 2. STD caused by a protozoan: Trichomoniasis is caused by the protozoan Trichomonas vaginalis. It is a common sexually transmitted infection.
• 3. STD diagnosed by a Pap test: Chlamydia trachomatis infection (especially in women) can sometimes be detected or associated with abnormal Pap test results (although Pap test is mainly for cervical cancer screening related to HPV, chlamydia can also have an impact on cervical health and may be incidentally noted in some Pap - test - related evaluations in the context of overall gynecological health assessment).
• 4. STD that can result in damage to joints: Gonorrhea, caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, can lead to gonococcal arthritis, which causes joint damage.
• 5. Most common STD among teens: Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections among teenagers due to various factors such as lack of consistent condom use and higher sexual activity rates in some adolescent populations.
