Sexually Transmitted Infection Testing and Treatment



Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs or STDs--sexually transmitted diseases) are infections that are passed from one person to another through sex or other close bodily contact.  STIs can cause long-term, irreversible fertility problems, cancer, and other problems. 


Symptoms for STIs include:

  • Abnormal discharge around the penis or vagina
  • Painful urination
  • Sores, bumps, or blisters in the genital or anal area
  • Pain during sexual intercourse
  • Rash

Many people with STIs do not show any symptoms at all.  Anyone who has had unprotected sex should get tested.
