STD/STIs can often be asymptomatic, meaning they may not show any noticeable signs or symptoms even when an infection is present. This can make it easy to unknowingly carry and potentially spread an infection to others. Because of this, relying solely on the absence of symptoms isn’t a reliable way to assess your sexual health.
Regular testing is the best way to detect these infections early, ensuring that you can receive timely treatment and prevent any long-term health complications. Getting tested is a proactive step toward protecting not only your own health but also the health of your partners.
