Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are infections passed from one person to another through sexual contact. Many STIs don’t cause symptoms, but others can lead to genital sores, unusual discharge, and pain while urinating or during sex. Some STIs are curable and others aren’t, so treatment depends on the specific infection and may involve antibiotics or antiviral medications.[1] Safe sexual practices like wearing condoms and getting tested regularly are critical for reducing the risk of STIs and preventing spread of the infections.
