In this video, Dr. Muhammed Niyas (Consultant, Infectious Diseases, KIMSHEALTH Trivandrum) discusses the increasing number of STI cases observed in daily practice and the importance of early detection and treatment. While HIV is widely discussed, there are several other common infections like Gonorrhea, Syphilis, and Genital Herpes that require attention. Dr. Niyas explains their symptoms, potential complications if left untreated (such as neurological or heart issues in Syphilis), and the availability of effective treatments.
