1. The only STI (sexually transmitted infection) that affects more men than women is Syphilis
2. People with an STI are more likely to get HIV. One of the ways is because of the presence of irritated skin and ulcerated areas on the genitalia which make it easier for the virus to invade ones body.
3. Though 1 in 5 people have genital herpes, more than 90% of people are unaware that they have it.
4. In the beginning of the 20th century, nearly 1/3rd of people labeled insane are now thought to have had tertiary (last stage) of syphilis.
5. Some STI treatment centers give out anonymous cards to people so that they can tell their partners they have been exposed to an infection and get treated without having to reveal ones identity
