 Who is a candidate for STD testing?

  • Sexually active people: Anyone who is sexually active should consider getting regularly tested for STDs, especially if they have multiple sexual partners.
  • People entering a new sexual relationship: Before starting a new sexual relationship, it is advisable that both partners get tested for STDs to ensure each other’s health and safety.
  • People who do not use protection during sex: Using condoms reduces the risk of STD transmission but does not eliminate it completely. Those who do not regularly use protection should get frequently tested.
  • People with a partner who has an STD: If your partner has been diagnosed with an STD, it is crucial that you get tested, as many STDs can be transmitted even without visible symptoms.
  • People who have had an STD before: Those who have had an STD in the past are at higher risk of contracting another one in the future, so they should get regularly tested.
  • Injectable drug users: Sharing needles can transmit STDs like HIV and hepatitis C, making testing essential for these individuals.
  • Pregnant people: STD testing is a crucial part of prenatal care as some STDs can be transmitted to the baby during pregnancy or childbirth.
  • People experiencing STD symptoms: Anyone experiencing symptoms that may indicate an STD should get tested as soon as possible to begin treatment if necessary.
  • People with multiple sexual partners: Those who have sex with multiple partners have an increased STD exposure risk and should get regularly tested.
  • People who have had unprotected sex with a new partner or one whose STD status is unknown: This significantly increases the risk of contracting an STD.

Do any of the situations mentioned above apply to you?

It is crucial that you consider getting tested for STDs. Whether you have started a new sexual relationship, have multiple partners, have had unprotected sex, or simply wish to take care of your sexual health, getting tested for STDs is a fundamental step towards wellbeing and personal responsibility.
