I do not have any symptoms. Do I still need to get tested?
Most STIs do not have any symptoms in the people who have them, especially in the first few weeks and months. When symptoms do appear, they may go unnoticed or be confused with the symptoms of other, less serious infections. If left untreated, STIs can cause serious health issues. They can cause infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease, and certain cancers in women. They can also lead to reduced fertility, discomfort, and epididymitis in men.

My partner and I did not have sex. Can I still get an STI?
Remember, you can still catch an STI even if full sexual intercourse did not happen. Unprotected vaginal, oral, or anal sex raises the risk of STIs. However, some infections can spread in other ways, too. Herpes, Syphilis, and HPV can all spread through skin-to-skin contact, such as touching a sore, wart, or skin blemish. Often, these are not covered by a condom, or contact happens during foreplay. Other STIs, like HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C, spread through blood-to-blood contact. This can happen through needle stick injuries, unsterilised tattooing equipment, or sharing needles.
