What Are STDs/STIs?
Sexually transmitted diseases, or STDs/STIs, are infections caused by viruses, bacteria, or parasites. These pathogens are generally passed from person to person via sexual contact. Transmission can also occur through shared needles, contaminated blood transfusions, and from mother to baby during pregnancy or childbirth.
What Are STD/STI Symptoms?
Often, people with STDs/STIs do not experience signs or symptoms, and the manifestations of these pathogenic infections go unnoticed. However, even if you are not experiencing symptoms, this doesn’t mean you do not have a sexually transmitted disease or infection.
Additionally, silent but dangerous impacts can still occur to your health. Therefore, getting tested is essential to ensure your safety. Medical intervention is necessary to treat STDs/STIs, as they will not go away on their own, and home remedies will not cure them.
Should I Get Tested?
If you are sexually active, you risk contracting an STD/STI. It’s essential to get tested immediately to safeguard your health and wellness. Do not wait for symptoms to present or become exaggerated. Testing helps protect your health and the health of your partners. Take control of your health today.
