Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are often referred to as a "silent epidemic" because many individuals infected may not exhibit noticeable symptoms, leading to a lack of awareness and testing. This asymptomatic nature allows STIs to spread undetected, contributing to higher prevalence rates. Additionally, social stigma surrounding STIs can discourage individuals from seeking help or discussing their sexual health, further perpetuating the epidemic. As a result, untreated STIs can lead to serious long-term health complications for both individuals and public health systems.
