Sexually Transmitted Infection

STI usually means "Sexually Transmitted Infection." These are infections that are predominantly passed on through sexual contact, including vaginal, anal and oral sex. Some STIs can also be transmitted from mother-to-child during pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding.

More than 1 million STIs are acquired every day worldwide, the majority of which are asymptomatic (i.e., the infected person has no symptoms at the time).

Common STIs include: chlamydia, gonorrhea, genital warts, genital herpes, pubic lice, scabies, syphilis, trichomoniasis, and human papillomavirus (HPV).

STIs are also commonly known as STDs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases).
