1. stis

   The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) is a spectrograph, also with a camera mode, installed on the Hubble Space Telescope. Aerospace engineer Bruce Woodgate of the Goddard Space Flight Center was the principal investigator and creator of the STIS. It operated continuously from 1997 until a power supply failure in August 2004. After repairs, it began operating again in 2009. The spectrograph has made many important observations, including the first spectrum of the atmosphere of an extrasolar planet, HD 209458b. The STIS was installed on Hubble in 1997 during its second servicing mission (STS-82) by Mark Lee and Steven Smith, replacing the High Resolution Spectrograph and the Faint Object Spectrograph. It was designed to operate for five years. On August 3, 2004, an electronic failure rendered STIS inoperable, ending its use 2 years beyond its predicted lifespan. In order to bring it back to operational status, the instrument was repaired by space shuttle astronauts during STS-125, Servicing Mission 4, launched on May 11, 2009. The crew did a long (many hour) EVA to repair the instrument. Congratulations, you brought STIS back to life.

   Even though some of the effects are small, Maternal STIs do appear to increase your chance of delivering preterm.

2. Debby Herbenick:

   Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are often called a ‘silent epidemic’ for the very reason that they don’t typically have outward signs.

3. Debby Herbenick:

   The only way to tell if someone has an STI is to get tested for STIs, which all sexually active people should do from time to time( the frequency varies based on a person's own sexual behaviors and risk factors, so check with a healthcare provider to see what they recommend for you).

4. Heidi Bauer:

   Heidi Bauer told the Daily Californian that sexually active people should be tested frequently for STIs because the infections often do n’t produce symptoms. People are not aware that they need to be tested on a regular basis. A lot of people think they’re going to have a symptom … which is only true some of the time, most of these infections do n’t cause any symptoms and are readily transmitted through oral sex — a lot of people do n’t use condoms for oral sex.

5. Cynthia Graham:

   There has been for many years now a push towards long-acting reversible contraception, which are highly effective methods of contraception - but they don't protect at all, of course, against STIs.
