&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is STD/STI?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) or STIs (sexually transmitted infections) are a group of infections that spread through sexual contact from one person to another. These infections can cause symptoms and long-term health issues when left untreated.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The most common symptoms of these infections are rash, sores, ulcers,&amp;nbsp;burning urination, and penile/vaginal discharge. Most people with STIs show no symptoms, but these infections can still be passed on to their sexual partners. You cannot &#39;tell&#39; if someone has it by just looking for visible signs or noticing your own symptoms. The only way to be sure if someone is having a sexually transmitted infection is to get tested. Most STDs are treatable with a simple&amp;nbsp;course of antibiotics when acted upon early.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What Are the Common STIs?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The most common sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) or infections (STIs) include bacterial infections like:&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;chlamydia&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;trichomoniasis&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;gonorrhea&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;syphilis&lt;/strong&gt;, and&amp;nbsp;viral infections like: &lt;strong&gt;HPV&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;herpes&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;HIV might not be as easily transmitted, but it is one of the STIs that cause the most serious issues. HIV is yet to have a cure. Once you have an infection with HIV, you will need to have the treatment for life. Untreated HIV can cause major health issues that can lead to death. However, if you start the treatment and are consistent with the medication and routine check ups. Modern HIV treatment can give you a relatively normal life. Which is why testing and early diagnosis are important.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What Symptoms Are the Signs of STD?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Most STIs do not cause any symptoms. Chlamydia and gonorrhea usually show no symptoms until the infection gets bad. You can still transmit the infection to your partner even if it shows no symptoms. Routine testing is important, &lt;strong&gt;and you should get tested if you notice:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul class=&quot;ul1&quot;&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;li1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Painful urination&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;li1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Genital discharge&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;li1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Itching or irritation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;li1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Sores, bumps, or rashes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;li1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Pelvic or lower abdominal pain&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who Should Get STD Tests&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;If you&amp;rsquo;re sexually active, it&amp;rsquo;s super important to get tested for STIs. Talk to your doctor about the best tests for you. Here are some general guidelines:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Everyone aged 13-64&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt; should get tested for HIV every year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Women under 25 should&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt; also get tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia every year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Women aged 25 and older&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt; who have risk factors should also get tested for these diseases.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pregnant people&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt; should get tested for syphilis, HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C early in pregnancy, and they should get tested again as needed. People who are at risk should also get tested for chlamydia and gonorrhea early in pregnancy, and they should get tested again as needed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gay or bisexual men&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt; and men who have sex with men should get tested for syphilis, chlamydia, and gonorrhea at least once a year. If they have multiple or anonymous partners, they should get tested more often. They should also get tested for HIV at least once a year, and they should get tested more often (like every 3-6 months) if they need to.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you live with HIV&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, you should get tested for hepatitis C at least once a year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you share injection drug equipment&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, you should get tested for HIV at least once a year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you&amp;rsquo;re having oral or anal sex&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, it&amp;rsquo;s a good idea to talk to your doctor about getting tested for throat and rectal infections.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When to Get A STD Screening?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The best time to get a full STD test depends on things like how often you have sex, any symptoms you might have, and how likely you are to be exposed. Here&amp;rsquo;s a simple guide to help you decide:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you&amp;rsquo;ve had unprotected sex (oral, vaginal, or anal)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, even just once without a condom, you should get tested.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you have a new sexual partner&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, it&amp;rsquo;s a good idea to get tested before and after you start the relationship.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you have many partners or have casual sex&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, you should get tested every 3&amp;ndash;6 months.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you notice symptoms&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; like burning when you pee, strange discharge, sores, bumps, or rashes on your genitals, or pain during sex, or in your pelvis or lower belly, see a doctor right away.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If your partner tests positive for an STD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; or has symptoms, you should get tested right away and again after the recommended time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you&amp;rsquo;re taking PrEP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, you should get a full STD test every 3 months.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you just want to be sure&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, regular testing is important for staying healthy and can help avoid problems.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How Often Should Most People Test?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;If you have low-risk or are monogamous&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Every 6&amp;ndash;12 months&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;If you have moderate risk&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Every 3&amp;ndash;6 months&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;If you have high risk, is on PrEP, or have multiple partners&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Every 3 months&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do People in a Monogamous Relationship Need STD Tests&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;If you&amp;rsquo;re in a committed relationship, it&amp;rsquo;s a good idea to get an STI test once a year. But if you&amp;rsquo;re in a relationship where you&amp;rsquo;re seeing multiple people, it&amp;rsquo;s still important to get tested regularly, just like you would if you were single.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do You Need STD Tests if You Only Do Oral Sex?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;You will still need STD tests regularly even if you only engage in oral sex. Many sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and other infections can be transmitted through oral sex. Whether it is from mouth-to-mouth or genital-to-mouth transmission. If you&amp;rsquo;re exposed to an infected partner, you could potentially contract an STI in your mouth, throat, genitals, or rectum.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What Happened When the Result Came Positive?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Finding out you have an STD can be tough, but it&amp;rsquo;s important to stay calm and go to the doctor. Follow your doctor&amp;rsquo;s plan and tell your sexual partners about your condition. This might be hard, but it&amp;rsquo;s important for their health.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Many STDs can be treated with medicine, so you can get back to your normal life. Even if treatment isn&amp;rsquo;t possible, there are ways to manage your symptoms and stop it from spreading.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Living with an STD is normal and doesn&amp;rsquo;t mean you&amp;rsquo;re a bad person. It&amp;rsquo;s a common infection that can happen to anyone who&amp;rsquo;s been sexually active. Some STDs can be spread even when you&amp;rsquo;re not having sex. If you&amp;rsquo;re feeling overwhelmed, talk to your partner, a close friend, or family member. Counselors and therapists can also give you support and advice.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
