STD and HIV Infection
STD and HIV Infection
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs), often termed as sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), spread primarily through sexual activities like vaginal, oral, and anal intercourse. They frequently remain asymptomatic initially, heightening the risk of transmission. Common indicators encompass genital ulcers, pelvic pain, penile or vaginal discharge, and more. STIs can also impact infants if transmitted during childbirth, leading to adverse outcomes. Infertility can stem from certain STIs. Employing protective measures like condom usage, limiting sexual partners, and maintaining monogamous relationships curtails STI risk. Adult male circumcision might offer protection against select infections.
