STI's
Sexually Transmitted Infections: STI's (formally called STD's or VD)are infections transmitted from one person to another through sexual or very close contact. STI's can be transmitted via ALL sexual activity and they do not discriminate between age, race, or gender. In other words, EVERYONE who engages in any form of sexual activity, especially when unprotected, is susceptible to contracting an STI. They can be caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites or fungii. The chances of STI infection increase directly with the number of sexual partners you have. Abstinence is the only 100% effective means of preventing an STI! **Why do you think teenagers have the highest incidence of STI's?**
