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.
If you have concerns about your sexual health, take the initiative to get tested today at a Better2Know clinic in Santiago. Booking your appointment is easy. Please click on the sexual health clinic nearest you on the provided map and book your appointment online now.

How can I prevent STIs in Santiago de Veraguas?
The only way to not have an STI in Santiago is to not have sex. Condoms, femidoms and dental dams can help to prevent STIs spreading, but they will not work all the time. Sometimes bodily fluids are exchanged before the condom (or other barrier method) is put on (or in) and sometimes they may break, or not be used properly.
Having only one sexual partner at a time and regular STI testing in Santiago can help to stop infections spreading. If you do test positive, you should let your sexual partners know so that they can also get tested and treated.
If you are worried that your condom did not work, or it has been over three to six months since your last STI test, you should get tested.
The earlier you get diagnosed; the sooner you can get treated. Call our Santiago helpline to book an STI screen at a sexual health clinic near you.
