 STIs (SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS)

STIs (sexually transmitted infections), also known as STDs (sexually transmitted diseases), are infections that spread from one person to another through sexual contact.  If you are sexually active, you may be at risk for getting an STI such as Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, or Syphilis.  Many people with STIs do not have symptoms but are still able to give the illness to others.  Condoms are one way to reduce your risk for STIs.  Check out the links to find out more.
