Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can be acquired by having unprotected sex (vaginal, anal, oral) or by direct contact with the mucous membranes of these areas of our body. The most common STIs are gonorrhea, syphilis, moniliasis, condyloma, genital herpes and the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). The latter causes the weakening of the body's defenses, destroying it slowly; In addition, the person is sensitive to a large number of opportunistic infections, causing the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), the most extensive manifestation of the infection.
Not all people perceive the risk of getting a sexually transmitted infection, especially HIV / AIDS. To protect yourself, it is important to keep in mind that if we have changed partners frequently or have had an active sexual life without protection, we may have been in contact with an infectious agent. Some STIs do not show signs or symptoms during their early stages, so detection is almost impossible or can simply be confused with other pathologies. If someone has any of these infections, the inflammatory cells of the genital area increase, causing injuries that could be the gateway to the AIDS virus.
