Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are infections that are transmitted through sexual contact with an infected person. Anyone can become infected and some individuals are infected after only one sexual experience.
There are two different distinctions of STI’s, viral and bacterial. Viral infections, such as Herpes, Genital Warts (Human Papilloma Virus), HIV and Hepatitis B can be treated and managed, but there is no known “cure” for viral STI’s. Bacterial STI’s such as Chlamydia, Gonorrhea and Syphilis usually respond to antibiotics if diagnosed early enough.
