Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are infections that are passed from one person to another through sexual contact. Many of the complications of STIs are borne by women and children. STIs remain an important cause of morbidity in the United States and have both health and economic consequences. Often, STIs do not present any symptoms so can go untreated for long periods of time. The presence of an STI during pregnancy may result in significant health complications for the woman and infant. In fact, any person who has an STI may develop health complications. Screening tests for the STIs in this national coverage determination (NCD) are laboratory tests.
