Why Get Tested?
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are common and can have serious consequences if left untreated. Many STIs have no symptoms, so getting tested is the only way to know for sure if you have an infection. Early detection and treatment can prevent long-term health problems and the spread of infection to others.
