How did I get an STI?
Many people can get STIs in a variety of ways.
Most STIs are transmitted through unprotected sexual contact, such as vaginal sex, anal sex, and oral sex. Certain STIs, like Herpes, can be transmitted through skin-to-skin contact, such as kissing, foreplay, or genital-to-genital touching.
However, some STIs can be transmitted in other ways.
Infections like HIV and Syphilis can be transmitted through blood-to-blood contact – most often through sharing needles for intravenous drug use, needle-stick injuries, and blood transfusions.
In some cases, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C can be transmitted through sharing hygiene products like razors or toothbrushes.
No matter how the infection occurs, it is always better to know your sexual health status.

Do STIs cause symptoms?
While certain symptoms can indicate the presence of an infection, most STIs do not produce any symptoms. This is often how they are so easily transmitted. A carrier may not know they are infected and pass on the infection without being treated or using protection.
If you have had unprotected sex, started a sexual relationship with a new partner, or want to know more about your health, you should get tested.

Why should I get tested for STIs?
Many STIs can cause serious damage to your health if left untreated. Complications from various infections could include:
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)
Decreased fertility
Susceptibility to contracting other STIs
Damage to vital organ systems, like the liver, eyes, brain, and nervous system
A higher likelihood of developing certain cancers
Decreased immune function
Getting tested for STIs will also help you protect your current and future partners from infection. Identifying and treating an infection is the best way to prevent its spread.
