TESTING
When should I get tested?
You need to get tested if:
-
you've recently had unprotected sex
-
you've had a change in partners
-
you have experienced itching or burning in your pelvic area
-
you have scheduled an abortion
You may need to get tested even if you have no symptoms or consistently use a condom. Sex always carries the risks of STIs and STDs, even oral and anal sex.
What are the most common STD/STI symptoms?

Clear, white, greenish, or yellowish vaginal discharge

Discharge from the penis

Itching or irritation inside the penis or vagina
