Do I Need STD testing?

Anyone who is sexually active should receive STD testing on a regular basis. This is because many STDs do not cause noticeable symptoms in their early stages—or ever. It’s true! Without proper screening from a medical professional, it is impossible to accurately detect and treat an STD. It is especially important to visit us for a routine STD check-up if any of the following scenarios apply to you, as these situations may put you at an increased risk of infection:

• You have more than one sexual partner
• Your partner has multiple other sexual partners
• You are a man who has sexual intercourse with other men
• You do not use a condom during sexual intercourse

What Are the Symptoms of an STD?

As we’ve learned, the most common STD symptoms are no symptoms at all. Still, many people with STDs do have noticeable signs of infection. Some of the most prevalent STD symptoms include:

• Sores, bumps, warts, or rashes around the genital area
• Painful urination
• Redness or swelling around the genital area
• Painful sex
• Itchiness around the genital area
• Unusual bleeding or discharge from the penis or vagina
• Jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes)
• Unexplained weight loss
• Night sweats
• Unusual aches and pains
• Fever and chills
