When would you benefit from our services?
We recommend that you be tested for STDs:
- Periodically, for example once every 6 months, if you are
sexually active and have more than one partner, or if your partner
might have more than one partner, irrespective of whether you
use condoms for all sexual contact. Condoms are an imperfect barrier
because they only cover so much.
- If you notice a discharge coming from the tip of your penis,
an itching or strange feeling inside the penis, or burning or
discomfort when you pee.
- If you notice any new bumps, sores, or rashes, particularly
around your genitals, anus, or mouth, depending on what you do.
- If you are beginning a new relationship. STDs are probably
something you would rather not give to, or get from, a new partner.
