A sexually transmitted infection (STI) is an infectious disease which
is passed from one person to another through intimate sexual contact.
It is estimated that one out of every ten sexually active teenagers has
a STI.
They can be passed from female to male, male to female, male to male,
female to female; through vaginal sexual intercourse and other intimate
sexual contact, e.g. oral sex, anal sex, mutual masturbation.
A lot of people with STI's do not have symptoms. Someone who has been
treated may not tell you they have been infected. You may not be able
to tell if someone is infected just by looking at him/her.
The more sexual partners a person has, the greater the risk of contracting
a STI.
Some STI's can have long term complications such as infertility and cancer.
If you or your sexual partner have one or all of the following:
Discharge from penis
Pain on passing urine
Lower abdominal pain
An ulcer or wart on your genital skin
Pain during intercourse
You may have no symptoms at all but have recently become sexually active
or changed your sexual partner, then you may have a sexually transmitted
infection.
