A sexually transmitted infection (STI)is an infection caused by a pathogen that spreads mainly through sexual contact. This generally involves direct contact between mucous membranes or their secretions. To be considered an STI, an infection must have only a small chance of spreading naturally in other ways.

Neonatal herpes can occur in babies born to infected mothers and can cause symptoms that range from relatively mild (more common) to severe. Human papillomaviruses are the most common sexually transmitted viruses and include strains that cause genital warts as well as strains that cause cervical cancer.

It is a good image to represent the concept of Columbian exchange. This concept refers to the exchange of pathogens during initial contacts between Europeans and Native Americans, starting when Columbus arrived in the New World in 1492. One of those pathogens may have been the sexually transmitted bacterium that causes syphilis.
