STDs In General
In general, several things to remember about STDs are:
- Condoms reduce your risk of getting all STDs other than lice
and scabies. Use them!
- STDs can be asymptomatic or unnoticed. Even so, they are still
infectious and a threat to yourself and partners.
- Some STDs have classical symptoms, but your symptoms
might differ.
- The best person to diagnose something as an STD or a non-STD
is an expert. We have the necessary expertise.
- STDs can travel in groups, and getting one can increase your
risk of getting others.
- You can get most STDs more than one time.
- Incubation periods for STDs vary from days to months or years.
