STI or STDs are infections that are commonly spread by sex, especially vaginal intercourse, anal sex or oral sex. Most STIs initially do not show symptoms resulting in a greater risk of passing the disease on to others. Sometimes by the time someone notices symptoms, it may have been a few weeks after being infected.
