Causes of the Condition

STIs/STDs are caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites transmitted through sexual contact. This includes vaginal, anal, and oral sex, and sometimes close skin-to-skin contact.

Treatment Approaches

Treatment depends on the type of STI/STD. Bacterial infections can usually be cured with antibiotics, while viral infections can often be managed with medication.
