Suguhaigustest, also known as sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or venereal diseases, are infections that are passed from one person to another through sexual contact. This contact can include vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Many different types of organisms, including bacteria, viruses, and parasites, can cause STIs. Some common STIs include chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, human papillomavirus (HPV), and HIV.

Symptoms of STIs can vary widely and may not always be present. When symptoms do occur, they can include unusual discharge from the penis or vagina, sores or bumps on the genitals or mouth, pain or burning during urination, and itching. In some cases, STIs can lead to more serious health problems if left untreated, such as infertility, chronic pelvic pain, and an increased risk of certain cancers.

Diagnosis of STIs typically involves a physical examination and laboratory tests, such as urine tests, blood tests, or swabs from affected areas. Many STIs can be treated effectively with antibiotics or antiviral medications. However, some, like herpes and HIV, are chronic conditions that can be managed but not cured. Prevention is a key aspect of managing STIs. Practicing safe sex, including the consistent and correct use of condoms, is highly recommended. Regular testing for STIs, especially for individuals with multiple sexual partners, is also crucial for early detection and treatment, thereby reducing the spread of these infections. Open communication with sexual partners about sexual health history and testing is also an important preventive measure.
