Types of STIs

Herpes

You might see sores, you might not. Only your doc can tell you if you have it.

Syphilis

a.k.a “The Great Pretender”, syphilis’ symptoms can look like many other diseases.

HPV

It’s like the common cold of STIs. But that doesn’t make it any less dangerous.

Chlamydia

Very treatable when you and your doc

Gonorrhea

One of the most common STIs in teens, it’s easy for your doc to treat.

Trichomoniasis

We’ll call it “trich” (pronounced “trick”) for short.

Hepatitis B

Reduce your risk with the vaccine and condoms.

HIV / AIDS

This virus interferes with the body’s ability to fight infections, and impacts 1.2 million people in the U.S. alone.
