Which STIs are reportable?

• A. Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Hep B, HIV, Syphilis, Chancroid
• B. HPV, Chlamydia
• C. Gonorrhea and syphilis only
• D. HIV only

Answer: (A)

Reporting STIs to public health authorities is required for diseases that help track and control spread through surveillance and partner notification. The notifiable STIs typically include Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphilis, HIV, Hepatitis B, and Chancroid. These are included because they have clear public health implications and require monitoring. HPV is not routinely reportable in most places, since it’s extremely common and not generally managed through mandatory reporting. So the set that lists Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Hepatitis B, HIV, Syphilis, and Chancroid aligns with standard reporting practices.
