STIÜbertragung

STIÜbertragung refers to the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. These infections are passed from one person to another through sexual contact, including vaginal, anal, and oral sex. Some STIs can also be transmitted through non-sexual means, such as from mother to child during pregnancy or childbirth, or through shared needles.

Common STIs include chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, human papillomavirus (HPV), and HIV. The risk of STIübertragung depends on the type of sexual activity, the presence of any open sores or cuts, and the use of protective measures. Condoms, when used correctly and consistently, are highly effective in reducing the risk of transmission for many STIs.

Symptoms of STIs can vary widely. Some infections may cause no symptoms at all, while others can lead to visible sores, discharge, pain during urination, or flu-like symptoms. It is important to get tested regularly if you are sexually active, especially if you have multiple partners or a new partner, as early detection and treatment can prevent complications and further transmission. Healthcare providers can offer testing and discuss prevention strategies, including vaccination for certain STIs like HPV. Practicing safe sex and open communication with partners are crucial in preventing STIübertragung.
