Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)

Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) are infections that can be passed from one person to another through sexual contact. They can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites and can affect both men and women. Some common STIs include chlamydia, genital herpes, gonorrhea, HIV, HPV, syphilis, and trichomoniasis. It's important to protect yourself and your partner(s) during sexual activity to reduce the spread of STIs. Early detection and treatment are crucial for managing STIs and preventing long-term health complications.
