Infectious Diseases, Prevention and Control

STD and HIV Infection

Sexually transmitted illnesses, generally known as STDs, are infections that are communicated by sexual activity, particularly vaginal intercourse, oral sex, and anal sex. Because STIs seldom produce symptoms at first, there is a higher risk of spreading the disease to others. Vaginal discharge, pelvic discomfort, ulcers on or around the genitals, and penile discharge are all symptoms and indicators of STIs. STIs can be transmitted to a newborn before or after childbirth, which can lead to bad results for the kid. Infertility can be caused by certain STIs. Safe sex behaviors including using condoms, having fewer sexual partners, and being in a relationship where each person only has sex with each other reduce the risk of STIs. Adult male circumcision may be beneficial in preventing certain infections.
