April is STI Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness and educate the public about sexually transmitted infections (STIs). STIs are widespread, yet many people remain unaware they are infected due to mild or no symptoms, which can easily go unnoticed. Those with undiagnosed or untreated STIs unknowingly contribute to the spread of infections and may experience complications themselves. STI Awareness Month aims to highlight the importance of safe sex practices and regular STI testing.
In recognition of STI Awareness Month 2025, this Guidelines Rundown will focus on STI-related guidelines from the past two years. These guidelines offer essential support for clinical decision-making, with various professional societies providing comprehensive recommendations on STI testing, prevention, treatment, and the use of antiretroviral medications. In this article, we will highlight the clinical practice guidelines relevant to STIs.
