Answer:
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
Step-by-step explanation:
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs), also previously known as sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), are conditions spread through unprotected sexual contact in which one person's oral cavity or genitalia are physically exposed to the oral cavity or genitalia of an infected person whose conditions is not actively being treated. These conditions can include herpes simplex virus, chlamydia, and gonorrhea. Not all STIs are spread via a form of intercourse, however. It is estimated that around 67% of the global population have contracted HSV-1, a form of oral herpes that most get during childhood or adolescence from contact with infected saliva (e.g. kissing) or sores and mouth surfaces containing active virus. Because so many have this form of an STI and it is relatively harmless to most people, there has been a recent movement to destigmatize herpes as well as other STIs in order to have open, honest, and informed conversations that will help everyone become more educated on the subject and, in turn, potentially decrease incidence rates.
Bacterial infections, vaginal infections, and viral infections can occur during sexual contact, however, not every infection of these types is from sexual contact. One example: otitis media, or middle ear infection, is often the result of either bacterial or viral infection elsewhere. Vaginosis is a bacterial vaginal infection that can occur from introducing products into the vagina that disturb its natural bacterial microflora. Thus, these options are eliminated.
