About STIs
Chlamydia
- Chlamydia is a common sexually transmitted disease (STD) that can cause infection in the genitals, rectum, and/or throat.
- You can get chlamydia by having vaginal, anal, or oral sex with someone who has chlamydia regardless of whether or not an individual ejaculates. A pregnant person with untreated chlamydia can transfer the infection to their baby during childbirth.
- Chlamydia is one of the STD/STIs that can often show no symptoms. Even so, it can cause serious and long-term effects without present symptoms. If symptoms occur, there is a chance they may not appear until several weeks after having sex with an individual who has chlamydia.
- For more information on chlamydia, please refer to our Comprehensive Fact Sheet or Quick Fact Sheet!
Gonorrhea
- Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that can cause infection in the genitals, rectum, and/or throat. It is very common, especially amongst people between the ages of 15-24 years old.
- You can get gonorrhea by having vaginal, anal, or oral sex with someone who has gonorrhea. A pregnant person with gonorrhea can give the infection to their baby during childbirth.
- Gonorrhea is one of the STD/STIs that can often show no symptoms. Even so, it can cause serious and long-term effects without present symptoms.

Syphilis
- Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) made up of four total stages (with different signs and symptoms) that can cause serious health problems if left untreated.
- You can get syphilis by having vaginal, anal, or oral sex with someone who has a syphilis sore. A pregnant person with untreated syphilis can transfer the infection to their baby during pregnancy.
- There are four stages of syphilis (primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary) and each stage will have different signs and symptoms.

HIV
- HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a treatable but not curable disease virus that attacks the body’s immune system and, if left untreated, can develop into AIDS, which is a late stage HIV infection.
- You can get HIV by having vaginal, anal, or oral (less common) sex with someone who has HIV, in addition to sharing needles and blood transfusions. A pregnant person with untreated HIV can transfer the infection to their baby during pregnancy, childbirth, and breast/chest feeding.
- Many individuals experience symptoms from HIV infection. Most individuals will experience flu-like symptoms within 2-4 weeks after their initial infection and those symptoms can last for days to several weeks.
- For more information on HIV, please refer to our Comprehensive Fact Sheet or Quick Fact Sheet!
Hepatitis C
- Hepatitis C is a viral infection that causes liver inflammation, sometimes leading to serious liver damage.
- Hepatitis C is transmitted primarily by exposure to blood infected with the hepatitis C virus.
- Hepatitis C is one of the viruses that usually does not show symptoms. Even so, it can transition to what is known as a chronic Hepatitis C infection, and cause serious and long-term effects without present symptoms. If symptoms occur, there is a chance they may not appear until several years of significant damage to the liver. If symptoms appear early on after infection, referred to as the acute phase, they will appear 1-3 months after exposure.

You’re not alone
STIs are very common. Anyone who is sexually active can get an STI. According to the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about one in five people in the United States had a STI on any given day.
Why testing is so important
STIs don’t always cause symptoms or may only cause mild symptoms. All STIs are treatable, and some are completely curable with medicine.
