STI Literacy: Testing, Prevention, Treatment, and Sexual Health
STI literacy is the ability to understand and use reliable information about sexually transmitted infections, including transmission, testing, prevention, treatment, and communication.
Incubation Period: Time Between Infection and Symptoms
An incubation period is the time between acquiring an infection and developing symptoms, and it differs from the window period used for test detection.
Asymptomatic Infection: STIs Without Noticeable Symptoms
An asymptomatic infection is present without noticeable symptoms and may still be transmissible, making STI testing and screening important.
