According to World Health Organization (WHO), every day more than 1 million sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are acquired worldwide, with the majority of these infections being asymptomatic. Unprotected sexual contact is the most common way for sexually transmitted diseases (STIs) to spread. Some STIs can also be transferred by infected blood or blood products during pregnancy, childbirth, and nursing. STIs have a significant impact on one's health. They can cause catastrophic effects if left untreated, including neurological and cardiovascular disorders, infertility, ectopic pregnancy, stillbirths, and an increased chance of contracting the Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). They're also linked to social stigma, domestic violence, and poor quality of life.
