STIs are sexually transmitted infections (also referred to as STDs) that are transmitted via intimate, unprotected sexual intercourse, consisting of vaginal, oral and anal sex. STIs are categorised in the form of viral, bacterial or parasitic STIs. There are a few select STIs that can be transmitted via other means, such as genital warts that can be passed to another individual by sharing objects, including towels and razors.
There are estimated to be 17 million new STI cases each year in Western Europe. Fortunately, the majority of STIs are categorised as bacterial STIs and can be successfully cured using a course of antibiotic treatment. Other STIs, such as genital herpes, can be managed by controlling the outbreaks of this infection with highly effective and clinically proven treatments that you can buy online here at NEW HEALTH SITE.

STIs are grouped into one of three categories; bacterial, parasitic and viral. Some of the most common STIs are bacterial, including chlamydia and gonorrhoea, which are very common due to the highly contagious nature of bacterial STIs. The majority of STIs can be effectively treated, however, those that can't be cured can be effectively managed long-term using an effective course of treatment.
Bacterial STIs, such as gonorrhoea and chlamydia are transmitted during unprotected sexual contact. These STIs aren't likely to present any noticeable symptoms; meaning bacterial STIs are easily passed on during unprotected sex, as individuals with this form of STI are unlikely to know they are infected. Bacterial STIs can be easily treated with a course of antibiotic medication.
Parasitic STIs, such as trichomonas vaginalis ('trich') or scabies are passed on from person-to-person after close, unprotected contact with a genital area that has been infected with a parasite. These parasites are small organisms that tend to be uncomfortable, but aren' noticeable until some time after you become infected.
Viral STIs, such as genital herpes and genital warts, are infections caused by a virus contracted during unprotected sexual intercourse. Whilst this form of STI can't be outright cured, it can be effectively managed until the infection and its effects are no longer noticeable. Treating viral STIs with effective medication can prevent further outbreaks of the infection in the future.
Listed below are the different types of STIs, along with which type of STI it is categorised under:
Bacterial
Viral
Parasitic
Other conditions that are regularly mistaken as being a sexually transmitted infection are:
Whilst some sexually transmitted infections (STIs) do present some common symptoms to help with diagnosing the correct STI, most STIs are asymptomatic, meaning so symptoms are experienced. This can make it difficult to pinpoint which STI you are currently dealing with. As a result of this, regular STI testing is essential when you are sexually active in order to discover if you do have an STI sooner rather than later so that you can prevent it spreading to your sexual partners. Practising safe sex by using barrier contraceptives can also help if you are indeed infected with an STI but aren't aware due to a lack of symptoms. Also, different forms of STIs can cause different symptoms.
Some of the common symptoms associated with STIs in general are as follows:
For bacterial and viral STIs, symptoms can vary. Therefore, it's importance to know the difference between each of these forms of STI in terms of their symptoms.
Genital warts, in particular, present a unique set of symptoms. These symptoms include:
If you are currently experiencing any of the STI symptoms listed above you should seek medical advice as soon as possible in order to discover which type of STI you have. This medical advice can be sourced from a sexual health clinic or GUM clinic.
If you do indeed have an STI it is guaranteed that you will experience any of the symptoms associated with bacterial, viral and parasitic STIs. If symptoms do become apparent it can sometimes take weeks for any to surface. This increases the chances of passing an STI onto another individual during unprotected sexual contact, as you are unaware of your infection. If you aren't experiencing any of the common symptoms associated with STIs there are other ways to discover whether you are truly infected.
Other signs of an STI include:
Having unprotected sexual intercourse (vagina, anal or oral) can greatly increase the chances of spreading an STI to sexual partners. By practicing safe sex you can greatly reduce the chances of catching bacterial STIs from sexual partners.
Using the following safe sex methods can help towards protecting you from STIs:
