Las enfermedades de transmisión sexual (ETS) se transmiten de persona a persona a través del contacto sexual. A menudo, no hay síntomas, por lo que es posible que una persona infectada no sepa que está poniendo a otras personas en riesgo de contraer una ETS. Cuando los síntomas están presentes, incluyen cualquier cosa, desde llagas genitales hasta dolor durante las relaciones sexuales. Los ejemplos de ETS incluyen infecciones bacterianas como la gonorrea y la sífilis e infecciones virales como el VPH (virus del papiloma humano) y el VIH.
