Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) are infections passed through sexual contact, including vaginal, anal, and oral sex. Common STIs include chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, and HIV. Symptoms can vary but often include sores, discharge, and pain during urination. Regular testing and safe sex practices are essential for prevention and control of STIs.
