What are sexually transmitted infections (STIs)?

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs), also known as sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), are infections that are primarily spread through sexual contact. This includes vaginal, anal, and oral sex. Common examples include chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, human papillomavirus (HPV), and HIV. Many STIs can be asymptomatic, meaning people might not show symptoms but can still transmit the infection to others. Early detection and treatment are important to prevent long-term health complications.

What are the four new STDs?

The four newly recognized sexually transmitted diseases are lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV), Mycoplasma genitalium infection, Shigella infections, and Donovanosis. These infections have gained attention due to increasing prevalence and diagnostic advancements. Healthcare professionals should stay informed about these to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment.
