Sexually Transmitted Infections and Pregnancy

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are infections caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites that can be passed from one person to another through sexual contact. Pregnancy increases a woman's risk of contracting an STI, and untreated STIs can lead to serious health complications including infertility, ectopic pregnancy, preterm labor and delivery, and stillbirth. Therefore, it is important for sexually active women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant to get tested for STIs and to receive appropriate treatment to reduce the risk of health problems for both the mother and the baby.
