Sexually transmitted infections (STIs), also known as sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) or venereal diseases, are infections transmitted through sexual activity, including vaginal intercourse, anal sex, and oral sex.
STIs encompass a variety of infections caused by bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Common STIs include chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, human papillomavirus (HPV), herpes simplex virus (HSV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Regular testing and early diagnosis are crucial for effective treatment and prevention of transmission.
