If someone sti test is positive, what does it mean? will the sex partner get it too?

Sometimes: All STIs are contagious, that is why they are sexually transmitted infections. All sexual partners will not be infected, but they are at risk. It is important to know which STI was positive. All exual partners should be tested and in some cases treated.
