You should get tested if:
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs), also known as sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), are infections that are passed from one person to another during vaginal, anal, or oral sex.
They’re really common and lots of people who have them don’t have any symptoms. STIs can be dangerous, but the good news is that getting tested is no big deal and most are easy to treat.
There is no single test for every sexually transmitted infection — tests are specific to each infection. And some infections can even be found using different kinds of tests. You and your health care provider will decide what tests make the most sense for you.
Getting tested can put your mind at ease or get you (and your partner) needed treatment. It's also important to learn about ways you and your partner can protect yourselves in the future through safer sex.
STD testing is quick and easy. It isn’t always part of your regular checkup so make sure to ask for STD testing.
During your visit, be honest with the nurses and doctors so they can help you figure out which tests are best for you.
