    This document provides information about sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including their causes, common types, signs and symptoms, prevention, and treatment. The most effective way to prevent STIs is abstinence, but other methods like using condoms during sex, getting vaccinated for certain STIs, limiting sexual partners, and avoiding activities that break the skin can also help reduce risk. Common STIs in the US include herpes, chlamydia, and gonorrhea. Signs and symptoms vary but can include burning during urination, sores or bumps in the genital area, and discharge. Many STIs can be treated with antibiotics, while herpes and HIV cannot be cured but can be managed with medication.
