Key Points: Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) or Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI)

  1. Meaning: STIs/ STDs are infections transmitted mainly through sexual intercourse; examples include gonorrhoea, syphilis, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis-B, genital herpes, and chlamydiasis.
  2. Modes of transmission: Besides sexual contact, some STIs spread through infected needles, blood transfusion, contaminated instruments, and from mother to fetus.
  3. Symptoms and risks: Early symptoms are mild (itching, discharge, pain), and females may remain asymptomatic, leading to late detection.
  4. Complications: Untreated STIs can cause PID, infertility, abortions, stillbirths, ectopic pregnancy, and reproductive tract cancers.
  5. Prevention: Avoid multiple/unknown partners, use condoms, and seek early medical diagnosis and complete treatment.
