Hi,
Thanks for your query.
There are number of facts about STIs. Some of them are mentioned below- take a look!
- A sti is a germ that can cause an illness inside a person even though the person doesn’t have any symptoms. An STD refers to infections that are causing symptoms or problems.
- Stis/ STDs were previously called “venereal diseases” (VDs), a term which derives from veneris, or Venus, the Roman goddess of love.
- A girl is four times more likely to contract an STI/STD than she is to become pregnant.
- Douching before and after sex does not protect against STDs, infact it may promote an infection after exposure to an STD.
