Figuring out your relationship status can be tricky. Figuring out your STI status doesn't have to be. 

Most of the time, STIs have no symptoms, which makes testing the only way to know for sure if you have one. If you're sexually active (meaning you have vaginal, anal, or oral sex), it's best to get tested regularly.

Essentially, if you are having vaginal, anal, or oral sex, you should talk to your doctor about getting tested for STDs and continue to be tested regularly.
