The rates of many STIs (also known as STDs), including HIV/AIDS, are on the rise, especially in people aged 25 and under. STIs can lead to infertility, chronic pain, or cancer. In some cases, they can be fatal. http://stisstds.sexualhealthsimplified.com/

There are different types of STD/STI's like
Chlamydia - most common STI.
As many as 1 in 4 men with chlamydia have no symptoms.
An untreated chlamydia infection may spread to the uterus or the fallopian tubes, causing salpingitis or pelvic inflammatory disease. These conditions can lead to infertility and increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy.
