Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are common infections that can be transmitted from one person to another through sexual contact. STIs can cause a wide range of symptoms, from mild to severe, and can have serious long-term consequences if left untreated.
It is important to get tested for STIs regularly, especially if you are sexually active. There are a variety of ways to check for STIs, including blood tests, urine tests, and physical exams. Your doctor can recommend the best testing method for you based on your individual risk factors.
