Common questions about STI testing and treatment
Straight answers to questions people commonly ask.
Can I have an STI without symptoms?
Yes. Some STIs may cause no noticeable symptoms, so testing can still be important even when you feel well.
When should I test for an STI?
Testing may be appropriate after unprotected sex, a new sexual partner, STI symptoms or possible exposure. The best timing depends on the infection and type of exposure.
What if my STI test result is positive?
A positive result means you should get appropriate treatment and follow-up. Depending on the infection, your sexual partner or partners may also need testing or treatment.
Can STIs be treated?
Many STIs can be treated effectively. Some can be cured, while others can be managed with ongoing treatment.
Should I treat myself if I think I have an STI?
Avoid repeatedly taking antibiotics or other medicines without knowing the cause. Different infections need different treatment, and the wrong medicine may delay proper care.
Does my partner need treatment?
For some STIs, sexual partners may also need testing or treatment even when they have no symptoms.
