Sexually transmitted infections (STIs), also referred to as sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), are infections that are typically transmitted through sexual contact. Here are some common types:
1. Chlamydia: Caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis, it can infect both men and women and can lead to serious reproductive health problems if left untreated.
2. Gonorrhea: Caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae, it can infect the genitals, rectum, and throat. Like chlamydia, it can lead to serious complications if untreated.
3. Syphilis: Caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum, syphilis progresses through stages and can cause serious health problems if untreated, including damage to the brain, nerves, eyes, and heart.
4. Human Papillomavirus (HPV): A group of viruses that can infect the genital area, leading to genital warts and, in some cases, cervical cancer.
5. Herpes: Caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV), there are two types: HSV-1 (usually causes oral herpes) and HSV-2 (usually causes genital herpes). Both types can cause genital herpes when transmitted sexually.
6. HIV/AIDS: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) attacks the immune system, making it harder for the body to fight off infections and diseases. Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is the late stage of HIV infection when the immune system is severely damaged.
7. Hepatitis B and C: Viruses that primarily attack the liver. While they can be transmitted sexually, they are also transmitted through other means, such as sharing needles or from mother to child during childbirth.
8. Trichomoniasis: Caused by a parasite called Trichomonas vaginalis, it infects the urinary tract in men and the vagina in women.
9. Bacterial Vaginosis (BV): While not always considered an STI, BV is a common condition in women where the balance of bacteria in the vagina is disrupted, leading to an overgrowth of harmful bacteria.
These are just a few examples of STIs, and there are others as well. It s important to practice safe sex and get tested regularly if you re sexually active to prevent and detect STIs early.
