Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI’s)

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can be bacterial, viral, or parasitic. Common bacterial STIs include Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, and Syphilis. Viral STIs encompass Genital Herpes, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis B, and Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). Parasitic STIs include Pubic Lice, Scabies, and Trichomoniasis. Symptoms may vary but can include burning during urination, itching, unusual discharge, and rashes. To avoid STIs, educate yourself, practice safer sex, consider mutual monogamy, and delay intercourse until safe.
