Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are infections caused by bacteria, viruses and parasites that spread through sexual contact.[1] Some common infections include gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, human papillomavirus (HPV), herpes simplex virus (HSV or herpes), hepatitis B, and HIV/AIDS. Young people between the ages of 15 and 24 are at higher risk for getting an STI.[2],[3]

Data on STIs can be found under the Reportable Infectious Disease section.
