Question

Identify which one is NOT a Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI):

• A. Leishmaniasis
• B. Syphilis
• C. Chlamydiasis
• D. Gonorrhoea

Hint:

STIs are transmitted through sexual contact; while Leishmaniasis is spread by sandfly bites.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease transmitted by infected sandflies, affecting the skin, mucous membranes, or internal organs, and is not sexually transmitted. Conversely, Syphilis (caused by Treponema pallidum), Chlamydiasis (by Chlamydia trachomatis), and Gonorrhoea (by Neisseria gonorrhoeae) are bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
