Many people who have an STI do not experience symptoms. When STIs do produce symptoms they may include:
– unusual discharge from the penis or vagina
– sores or warts
– painful urination
– itching and redness in the genital area
The only way to know if you have an STI is to get tested.
There are many ways to reduce your risk of getting an STI, including:
– using condoms and dental dams every time you have sex
– getting vaccinated to protect against STIs like HPV and hepatitis B
– Get tested with your partner(s). Talk to each other about your test results before having sex.
