What are STDs Tests?
STDs are sexually transmitted diseases. Many health experts prefer the term sexually transmitted infections (STIs) because you can have an infection without disease symptoms. STIs are mostly contracted by having unprotected vaginal, anal, or oral sex with an infected person. You can, for instance, get hepatitis B by sharing personal items, such as toothbrushes or razors, with someone who has it.
Anyone who is having sex or has had sex in the past should get tested, It is recommended that you get screened for STDs annually if:
- You’re a sexually active woman under age 25
- You’re a woman older than 25 and at risk of STIs- such as having sex with a new partner or multiple partners
- You’re a man who has sex with men
- You have HIV
- You’ve been forced to have intercourse or engage in sexual activity against your will.
