Chlamydia is the most common STI in the UK and is caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis.
How is chlamydia transmitted?
Chlamydia is spread through contact with an infected person’s bodily fluids. This can happen during:
Whilst chlamydia can normally be treated with a short course of antibiotics, it can become serious if not treated early. Although rare, chlamydia can spread to the testicles and epididymis in men, causing pain and swelling. It has also been known to cause reactive arthritis in some men and women. In women, untreated chlamydia can cause pelvic inflammatory disease, ectoptic pregnancy and infertility.
Gonorrhoea is the second most common STI in the UK and is caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
How is gonorrhea transmitted?
Gonorrhoea is spread through contact with an infected person’s bodily fluids. This can happen during:
In 2019, more than 70,000 people were diagnosed with gonorrhea in England, disproportionately affecting gay, bisexual or other men who have sex with men.
As with many STIs, appropriate contraception and not sharing sex toys can reduce the risk of infection.
Trichomoniasis is an STI which is often present alongside other STIs and is caused by the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis.
How is trichomoniasis transmitted?
Trichomoniasis is spread through contact with an infected person’s bodily fluids. This can happen during:
It is not thought to be passed on through oral or anal sex. Wearing a condom during sex vastly reduces the likelihood of spreading the infection.
Hepatitis B (HBV) is a virus that affects the liver and can cause acute (i.e. less than 6 months) or chronic (i.e. more than 6 months) infection.
How is HBV transmitted?
HBV is very contagious and can be spread through sexual and non-sexual means. HBV is spread through the exchange of bodily fluids with an infected person. This can happen during:
HIV (Human immunodeficiency viruses) is an STI that attacks the immune system and weakens your ability to fight off everyday infections.
How is HIV transmitted?
HIV can be spread through sexual and non-sexual means. HIV is spread through the exchange of bodily fluids with an infected person. This can happen during:
Syphilis is an STI caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. There are 4 stages of syphilis: primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary. Without treatment, syphilis can progress through all 4 stages.
How is syphilis transmitted?
Syphilis is spread primarily through contact with an infected lesion or sore. This can happen during:
It’s important to screen for syphilis is you or your partner are pregnant, as it can be passed on to your baby (congenital syphilis) and also increase the risk of miscarriage, premature birth and stillbirth.
Hepatitis C (HCV) is a highly infectious virus affecting the liver and can cause acute infection (less than 6 months) or chronic infection (more than 6 months).
How is HCV transmitted?
HCV can be transmitted both sexually and non-sexually. It’s transmitted through the transfer of infected blood entering the bloodstream through a cut or an open wound. As HCV is spread through blood-to-blood contact, sexual activities that raise the possibility of blood exposure increase the likelihood of HCV transmission. These activities may include:
Hepatitis C can survive outside the body for up to 6 weeks, and is more infectious than HIV by a factor of 10. To prevent HCV transmission, it is essential to minimize blood-to-blood contact. Safe sex practices, such as using protection during sexual activity, can help reduce the risk of HCV transmission.
Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium genitalium, and often co-occurs with other STIs. It was first discovered in the 1980s and has since been identified as a cause of several types of STIs, including urethritis in men and cervicitis in women. This bacterium is unique compared to other STIs as it lacks a cell wall, which makes it resistant to certain antibiotics that target cell walls. It is thought up to 1 in 50 adults in England currently carry MG, however almost all will have no ill effects from the infection.
How is MG transmitted?
MG is spread through coming into contact with an infected person’s bodily fluids. This can happen during:
