You should get tested if:
- There are sores on your genitals
- There is discharge from your penis or vagina
- You have itching and/or burning during urination
- You’ve had unprotected sex (no condom, internal condom, or dental dam)
- You are ready to have sex with someone new. Most STDs don’t have symptoms, so you can’t tell by just looking
- Your partner has an STD
