STD Screening

STDs often show no symptoms. Only through testing can you be certain that you don't have an STD. Therefore, discuss being tested with a doctor or nurse if you've had any form of sexual contact that might transmit STDs, such as vaginal, anal, or oral sex.

Talk to a doctor or nurse about being tested if you've had sexual contact with someone else and you detect any symptoms of an STD. Over time, STD symptoms may appear and go, but the STD is still there. Even though it's typical for STD symptoms to be so little that you don't notice them, you should still consult a doctor or nurse if you feel out of the ordinary about anything.
