Millions of people are diagnosed with at least one sexually transmitted disease (STD), or infection (STI) in the United States each year.

Chlamydia is an sexually transmitted infection (STI) that often has no symptoms, but must be treated to prevent serious complications.

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is medication that people who are at risk of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) may take to prevent infection.

STIs are the most common cause of genital sores, but allergic reactions, autoimmune disorders, fungal infections and many other conditions may, too.

The first signs of HIV, called Acute Retroviral Syndrome (ARS), may feel like the flu, with body aches and a fever. It can last a up to a few weeks.

Bumps in the genital area might be STDs, but are usually not serious. Treatment is usually for possible infection or to manage symptoms.

Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is short-term antiretroviral medication that may help prevent HIV infection if taken shortly after exposure.

Normal vagin*l discharge varies in color, smell, consistency and amount. If there is a change in the discharge, an infection may be present.

Can I get HIV from surfaces, like toilet seats, doorknobs, shared drinks or pools? How long can HIV live outside the human body, or it's host?

Discharge may not be normal, and could mean an infection or an STD, especially with burning, pain, itching or urinary frequency.
