If I do not have any symptoms, does that mean that I do not have an STI?

Most STIs do not produce any symptoms, meaning someone can carry an STI for a long time and not know it. Many STIs are passed on in this fashion – without the carrier knowing.

The decision to get tested should not be based on your symptoms but your behaviours. If you have had a risky sexual encounter, like having sex with a new sexual partner or had unprotected sex, you should get tested.

What are the symptoms of an STI?

Symptoms of STIs vary from infection to infection. You may have an STI if you are experiencing:

• Unusual discharge from your genitals

• Pain, itching, or burning sensations in your genitals or groin area

• Sores, warts, or chancres on, in, or around your genitals or mouth

• Flu-like symptoms, including fever, fatigue, muscle aches, nausea, headaches, and joint pain

• Sustained pain in the lower abdomen

It is important to note that most STIs do not cause any symptoms. The absence of symptoms does not mean the absence of an STI.
