The only way to know if you have an STI is to get tested. Most people with an STI do not have any symptoms. Especially in the first few weeks and months of a new infection. If you are worried about STIs, even if you do not have any symptoms, you should get tested. Most STIs are passed on between sexual partners as one person does not know they are infected.
