I think the STI is Herpes infection. Herpes infection or herpes simplex is a viral disease caused by the herpes simplex virus. Infections are categorized based on the part of the body infected. For example oral herpes involves face or mouth. A person may show symptoms within days after contracting genital herpes, or it may take weeks, months, or years.
