Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs), also known as sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are caused by viruses, bacteria, and parasites and are spread through sexual activity, including but not limited to intercourse. While some STIs can be fully cured with medicine, others can only be treated, and some may lead to potentially life threatening diseases such as HIV and Cancer. The best way to prevent STIs is through prevention.
