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.
• Genital pimples do not necessarily mean an STD and may simply indicate a case of genital acne.
• Each year there are approximately 333 million new cases of STDs in the world, according to the CDC.

Over 25 million people globally have died of AIDS
