Sexually transmitted infections (STIs), previously known as sexually transmitted diseases, involve the transmission of an organism between sexual partners through different routes of sexual contact, either oral, anal, or vaginal. STIs affect all people and can be prevented with proper education and barrier control. The most common STIs include both curable (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, trichomonas) and treatable (herpes viruses, human papillomavirus, human immunodeficiency virus) conditions.
