    This document provides information about several common sexually transmitted infections (STIs). It explains that STIs can be spread through sexual contact and often do not present symptoms, making transmission likely. The most common STIs are chlamydia, gonorrhea, HPV, and trichomoniasis. While some STIs can be cured with antibiotics if treated, others like HIV, herpes and hepatitis B have no cure. Getting vaccinated, using protection during sex, and getting tested regularly can help prevent the transmission of STIs.
