Have you had sex with multiple partners and want to test for an STD/STI? Or maybe your partner has tested positive for an STD/STI.
The CDC states that 1 in 4 men and women between the ages of 15-24 will contract an STD/STI this year. Half of all new cases are with young people between 15-24. You owe it to yourself to be safe and take the vital step of being tested.
Do I have an STD/STI?
Not knowing if you have an STD/STI can be nerve-racking. Some men and women experience no symptoms at all, while others do. Some common STD/STI symptoms are:
- Changes in urination
- Abnormal vaginal discharge
- Pain during sex
- Abnormal bleeding
- Rashes or sores
Most bacterial STDs/STIs can be treated and cured with antibiotics. Treatment does not guarantee that complications have not already occurred. A few viral STD/STIs can be treated and occasionally cured. However, some can only be treated for symptoms but not cured.
Can STDs/STIs be prevented?
Yes, STD/STIs can be prevented. The only way to truly prevent yourself from getting one is to avoid sexual activity with more than one partner (who is uninfected) and them doing the same. It is the only way to prevent the risk of infections.
Why STI Testing Matters
When sexually active, regular STI testing is essential to your health. It’s important to be tested for STDs/STIs when pregnant, as they can be passed to the baby during pregnancy and childbirth.
A complication due to an untreated STD/STI is pelvic inflammatory disease. This disease is a serious infection that may affect fertility and other health issues. Timely diagnosis and getting the treatment you need right away is essential to avoid severe or life-threatening problems.
