Browse by condition
HIV & AIDS
Manage with antiretroviral therapy — U=U means undetectable is untransmittable.
Hepatitis B
A vaccine-preventable liver infection. Highly treatable when caught early.
Syphilis
Bacterial infection progressing in stages. Fully curable with penicillin in early stages.
Gonorrhoea
Often silent in women. Drug resistance is rising — early diagnosis is critical.
Chlamydia
The most common bacterial STI — 70-95% of infections show no symptoms.
Herpes (HSV-1 & HSV-2)
Extremely common and manageable. Antivirals reduce outbreaks and transmission.
Hepatitis C
Now curable — 95%+ cure rate with an 8-12 week course of direct-acting antivirals.
Trichomoniasis
The most common curable STI worldwide. Single-dose treatment is highly effective.
HPV (Human Papillomavirus)
Most common STI globally. The Gardasil-9 vaccine prevents cancer-causing strains.
Most STIs have no symptoms. Testing is the only way to know.
An estimated 70–95% of chlamydia infections, most hepatitis C cases, and HIV during its most infectious early phase produce no noticeable symptoms. You cannot rely on feeling unwell as a signal.
Routine testing protects you and your partners — and in India it has never been more accessible. Free testing is available at ICTC centers in every district.
