I don't understand why STIs have become so prevalent in the world in modern !
Question: I'm sure that in the past, there were no such things as STIs and people never had to contend with them. How did they come about?

STI's are nothing new, but I believe that in the past the method in which they were passed on wasn't talked about as much and although the concept of contraception has also been around a long time people were even less inclined to use it then than they are now!
Some STIs are newer - the whole HIV/AIDS thing came about because some guy in the rain forest did something bad with a monkey.
Despite knowing in this day and age of the dangers of AIDS and other STIs people continue to have iresponsible sex, and in some parts of the world the contraception is just not available, or worse still, people deliberately infect others - a scary thought.
As for those responding with such juvenile answers as 'it's all women's fault...y-shaped coffin...blah blah blah...' grow up.
Hello Mr Naive, welcome to planet earth.
We used to pair up & STAY monogomous in cave-man days....you put her in your cave & she's YOURS!
and your woman didn't f*ck around back then!
They have become so 'prevalent' because most women these days will have to find a 'Y'-shaped coffin to get buried in....
sure they were around - its communication that has improved
ermm yes there was..... syphlis has been around hundreds of years, even back in the 1600s. you hear about it more now through the magic of technology, i dont think its changed that much you just hear more about it
STI's have always been around, some have evolved to become nasty infections while others are still lying dormant.
Because of the modern way of life, people are sleeping around more and are having multipal sexual partners its spreading like wide fire. Each time someone is effected by an STI it has the chance of mutating and mixing with other STI's which are lying dormant.
There were plenty! Always has been, always will be! They reckon Henry VIII had syphillis!
they were around a long time ago its just now they are talked about a lot more.
STIs have be around since human existence, it's just only recently, in the late 80's early 90's that they were renamed STD's and STI's, presumably to bring fresh attention to HIV. They used to be called venereal diseases, and they've been rife in the past, as you can imagine, there was no medicine and so no means of curing them. People still slept around, and there are other ways of transmission - blood contamination, breast feeding, and child birth. King Henry VII himself is believed to have died from syphilis
Std's have been with us - like forever.
It/they became a problem when we decided promiscuouis sex was OK.
