What are STIs?

The video, presented by Meghana from I'sha, discusses sexually transmitted infections (STIs), their types, transmission methods, and prevention. It explains the difference between STIs and STDs, highlighting that infections may not show symptoms. The types of STIs include parasitic (e.g., scabies, pubic lice), bacterial (e.g., chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis), and viral (e.g., HIV, herpes, HPV). While parasitic and bacterial STIs can be cured, viral STIs are lifelong. STIs are transmitted through sexual activities, not kissing, except for oral herpes. Prevention includes abstinence or condom use. The video also clarifies that urinary tract infections and yeast infections are not STIs.
