What Are Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)?
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), previously known as STDs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases), are infections that spread through sexual contact, including vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Some STIs cause symptoms, while others may be present without any signs, which is why testing is important.
