Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs).

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are prevalent across Australia and the incidence of some STIs is rising. STIs can impact fertility in both men and women, affect a woman’s ability to carry a pregnancy, and influence child health outcomes. The STIs that can affect fertility and/or neonatal health include chlamydia, gonorrhoea, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), genital herpes, syphilis and Mycoplasma genitalium.
