What are some types of and treatments for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) or sexually transmitted infections (STIs)? (original) (raw)

Approximately 20 different infections are known to be transmitted through sexual contact. Although NICHD does study STIs, their prevention, and their effects on pregnancy and long-term health, the Institute is not the lead agency aiming to understand STIs. For more complete information about STIs, you may want to visit http://www.cdc.gov/std/default.htm or https://www.niaid.nih.gov/diseases-conditions/sexually-transmitted-diseases.

Here are descriptions of some common STIs.
