Sexually Transmitted Infections List and Symptoms
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) are serious health problems that require immediate medical attention. Sexually Transmitted Infections(STIs) can be as serious as Human Immunodeficiency viruses (HIV) and can even prove to be life-threatening. Some serious STIs examples include Genital Herpes, Gonorrhea, HIV/AIDS, Genital Warts, Syphilis, and Hepatitis-B, among many others. Ending HIV Oklahoma aims to prevent the spread of HIV and other Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) through the right STIs education.
Anyone, who is sexually active, is at risk of contracting Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs). People who use drugs are less likely to practice safe sex and face an increased risk of transmitting them. Being under the influence of drugs and alcohol can lead to unsafe sex, increasing the Sexually Transmitted Infections risk factors. Sharing needles and syringes can also lead to the transmission of Sexually Transmitted Infections(STIs).
Many people are not comfortable in opening up about their sexual problems and feel a stigma about Sexually Transmitted Infections tested, especially if there are Sexually Transmitted Infections symptoms in Females. Because of these issues, they avoid treatment and contribute to transmitting these diseases further. It is important to understand that being open about your symptoms and sexual history is necessary for the health and well-being of you and your partners. Given below is a symptom guide that can help you understand the seriousness and extent of the Sexually Transmitted Infections risk factors, effects, and STIs most common signs and symptoms.
