    Sexually transmitted infections (STIs), formerly called sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), are infections spread through sexual contact and some through skin-to-skin contact. Common STIs include chlamydia, HIV/AIDS, herpes, syphilis, and thrush. Chlamydia is the most common STI, especially in young people, and can cause infertility if left untreated. HIV/AIDS is spread through bodily fluids and can lead to AIDS which weakens the immune system. Herpes and syphilis cause sores or rashes and have no cure. Thrush is a yeast infection that causes itching and discharge. Using condoms and getting tested are the best prevention methods.
