Topic: Sexually Transmitted Infections
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs), also referred to as sexually transmitted diseases
(STDs), are infections that are commonly spread by sexual activity, especially vaginal
intercourse, anal sex, and oral sex. STIs often do not initially cause symptoms, which results
in a greater risk of passing the disease on to others.
