Let me start this article on a positive note:most sexually transmitted infections(STIs)can be easily cured with antibiotics;others have no known cure but are treatable/manageable-if detected early.STIs are global health problems,which can easily spread to others through sexual contact,including vaginal sex,anal sex and oral sex;and left untreated,some STDs can lead to long-term health problems,particularly in women and infants,which include pelvic inflammatory disease,infertility,ectopic pregnancy,cervical cancer and perinatal or congenital infections in infants born to infected mothers.
