An estimated 499 million new cases of curable stis
I think there may be a typo there!
I'm assuming you meant to say "sexually transmitted infections" (STIs) rather than "curable stis". STIs are infections that are typically spread through sexual contact, and many of them can be cured with antibiotics or other treatments.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), an estimated 499 million new cases of curable STIs occur each year. This is a significant public health concern, as STIs can have serious consequences for individuals and communities, including increased risk of HIV transmission, infertility, and other health problems.
Some of the most common curable STIs include:
- Chlamydia: a bacterial infection that can cause pelvic pain, abnormal discharge, and infertility if left untreated.
- Gonorrhea: a bacterial infection that can cause symptoms such as burning during urination, abnormal discharge, and pelvic pain.
- Syphilis: a bacterial infection that can cause a painless sore or rash, and if left untreated, can lead to serious complications such as heart problems and neurological damage.
- Trichomoniasis: a parasitic infection that can cause symptoms such as itching, burning, and abnormal discharge.
- Genital herpes: a viral infection that can cause painful blisters and sores on the genitals.
It's important to note that while these STIs can be cured with treatment, they can still have serious consequences if left untreated. Regular testing and treatment can help prevent the spread of STIs and reduce the risk of complications.
