Abstract
Young people who are experiencing this phase are characterized by their vulnerability to Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) and the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), and this is due to sexual liberation and ease of early intimate contacts. The objective is to reflect scientifically on Sexually Transmitted Infections. It was noticed that health education is the main tool for youth health care and the prevention of STIs.
