When people don’t take the medicine they need to get rid of a STDs, the infection can lead to ‘infertility,’ which means that you or your partner can’t have babies in the future. Two STDs that cause infertility are Chlamydia and Gonorrhea. However, not all STDs have symptoms, which means you may not know if you have an STD. It can also take a few months for your body to give you a signal that you have an STD, such as pain or fever. That’s why it’s very important to use protection each and every time you have sex, and to get tested if you or your partner has ever had unprotected sex.
