STI's

Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), also known as Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs), are infections that are primarily transmitted through sexual contact. They can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites, and can affect anyone who is sexually active, regardless of age, gender, or sexual orientation. Understanding STIs is crucial for prevention, treatment, and reducing the spread of these infections.

  1. Bacterial STIs: These include infections like Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, and Syphilis. They are generally curable with antibiotics when diagnosed early.
  2. Viral STIs: These include Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV), Human Papillomavirus (HPV), and Hepatitis B. Viral STIs are usually manageable but not curable. Treatments focus on reducing symptoms and preventing transmission.
  3. Parasitic STIs: Examples include Trichomoniasis, caused by a parasite, which is typically treatable with medication.
