SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES
1 in 5 people in the US are reported to be infected with an STD. We encourage you to stay educated and motivated to take control of your sexual health, especially when it comes to STDs. Help us help you take the first step.
WHAT ARE STDs?
STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) can be bacterial or viral, and are transmitted from person to person through sexual activity—including anal, vaginal, and oral mucosal contact—making them some of the most common infectious diseases. Some common symptoms of STDs are sores or bumps in the genitals or rectal area, painful or burning urination, discharge of the penis, and unusual vaginal discharge. However, some STDs have no symptoms.
IF YOU THINK YOU MAY HAVE OR HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO AN STD, WE URGE YOU TO GET TESTED.
