What is an STI?
An STI, or sexually transmitted infection, is an infection that is primarily passed through sexual contact. These infections are a serious public health issue as many do not present with symptoms. That is why it is especially important to get tested regularly if you are sexually active and not in a committed monogamous relationship.
If you are concerned about STIs, click the “Book Now” button at the top of this page or call our 24/7 helpline to speak to one of our Sexual Health Advisors.

How do I know if I have an STD?
Our doctors say that you cannot diagnose an STD on symptoms alone. The only way to know if you have an STD is to get tested.
Most men and women do not experience any symptoms when they contract an infection. Some people can go months or even years and not show many, or any, outward symptoms. That is why it is important to get tested often, especially if you are sexually active or have had sex with a new partner.
When they do occur, common STD symptoms include:
Unusual discharge from the vagina, penis, or anus
Painful urination
Pain during sexual intercourse
Blemishes, such as sores, blisters, bumps, or rashes that appear on the genitals, rectum, or mouth
Itching around the genital area
Pain in the abdomen
Flu-like symptoms, including fever and headaches
Unusual weight loss
In women: unusual vaginal bleeding, particularly after sex
If left unaddressed, STDs can result in severe health complications including infertility, Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, certain types of cancer, and a compromised immune system.
