 Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)

• STIs are infections that are transmitted

during vaginal, anal or oral sex. Some STIs
are transmitted through semen, preseminal
fluid, vaginal fluids and blood. Others can
be transmitted with only one genital contact
(skin to skin).
• STIs are very common and usually have
no symptoms, so many people are
unaware that they have one.
• The only way to make sure you never get
an STI is to not have any kind of sexual
contact with another person. The best thing
to do to prevent STIs is to have safer sex.

condoms and ducal barriers. Most of these
diseases are easily cured with medicines
and do not cause serious problems if they
are treated early. There are also treatments
for STIs that are not cured, to relieve
symptoms and reduce the chances of
contagion to other people.
