The fact that you are reading this article or other articles on our blog related to STD testing suggests that you might be in one of the following situations:
a. You had unprotected sex and are concerned that you may have contracted an STD. It is also possible that you are experiencing some symptoms.
b. You and your partner are interested in starting an intimate relationship and want to find out if either of you has any STDs before doing so.
c. You consider your sexual health just as important as your digestive or brain health when it comes to overall well-being, and you want to check your current sexual health status.
After all, untreated STDs can lead to serious health problems and even death.
Your awareness and understanding of your sexual health, potential risks, and the need for STD testing largely depend on:
a. Your prior experience with STD testing or exposure.
b. The people in your circle of influence whom you feel confident sharing this issue with and asking for help.
c. Your own research.
This minimizes the number of mistakes. That means avoiding both false positives, where someone is wrongly told they have an infection, and false negatives, where someone with an infection is mistakenly told they don't.
