WELL THAT’S NEW: SIGNS YOU MAY HAVE AN STI

Unfortunately, we all make mistake some bigger than others. It’s important to seek help and even more important to seek help that is comfortable to you. This happened to me about 2 days after hooking up with this guy at a party. Why did this happen to me, I’m not the only one who hooks up, why am I the only one to catch something? We didn’t use protection because I’m on the pill, but I didn’t know what to do. I couldn’t go to the doctor because my parents would have seen why I went there, I couldn’t let them know about this. So, what do I do now? I want to take care of my body, but I don’t know how I can do that.

STI TESTING AND TREATMENT

Sexually transmitted infections are a serious threat to your health. It is not only important that you are tested and treated, but that all of your sexual partners are tested and treated. If you are sexually active you should be tested regularly as it is possible to have a STI and transmitting a STI while showing no symptoms, as most people show no signs of having an STI.

Typical symptoms of STIs include:

  • Unusual odor
  • Discharge from the vagina or penis
  • Sores on the genitals
  • Burning during urination

Lab testing is offered, but not limited to, the following:

  • Chlamydia
  • Gonorrhea
