Not all clinics test for all STDs. Ask ?? to know what you're tested for.

When you go to a clinic for an STD test, make sure to find out what tests you’ll be receiving. Not all clinics test for all STDs and not all STD tests may be necessary for you!

Since most STDs have no symptoms, if you are sexually active you need to get tested every six months to make sure you don’t have an infection without knowing it. Many STDs can be treated, but you need to know what you have in order to get appropriate treatment.

The following easy steps will help keep you safe:

  1. Talk to your health provider about your level of risk and what tests are right for you.
  2. Ask what they are testing for. If you want to get tested for anything else, ask!
  3. Make a plan about how to get your test results.
