Brief Answer:
Am sorry for this typographical error

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this follow up.

I am so sorry that instead of STI I wrote STU. STI stands for sexually transmitted infections. Those commonly tested for include genital herpes, Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Chlamydia and HIV.

Let me know if this fully addresses your worry and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
