According to the United States Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) have reached enormous proportions in the country. Research indicates that roughly half of all Americans contract a sexually transmitted infection (STI) by the age of 25. The CDC estimates that the US healthcare system deals with roughly 20 million case of STIs each year, half of which affect those in the 15-to-24 age bracket.<\/p>\n

Doctors and researchers tend to use the terms STI and STD interchangeably, but there is a difference. STI is the more modern term. Not every person with an STI develops common symptoms of the infection. For instance, most women infected by the common human papillomavirus (HPV) don’t develop cervical cancer.<\/p>\n

Doctors who perform STD testing include primary care physicians<\/a>, gynecologists<\/a>, urologists<\/a>, and infectious disease specialists.<\/p>\n

Who Should Get Tested?<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re sexually active, especially if you\u2019ve had more than one partner, you should always use protection against disease. Condoms, though, don\u2019t always prevent STIs. Therefore, you need to undergo regular STI testing, both for yourself and your partner or partners.<\/p>\n

Even if you\u2019re not experiencing any symptoms, you may have already been infected. Once infected, you can transmit the virus or disease to others. Don\u2019t assume that you\u2019re getting tested during routine Pap tests or gynecological exams. Tell your\u00a0gynecologist<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0urologist<\/a>\u00a0about your concerns and request STD testing.<\/p>\n

What Sort of STD Testing Do You Need?<\/h2>\n

Early detection is the key to treating STIs. Even if you have no symptoms, STD testing should be part of your health regimen, just like getting your cholesterol levels checked. According to the CDC, 24,000 women become sterile each year due to undiagnosed STIs. Don\u2019t postpone simple STD testing.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s not one test that covers all known STIs and STDs. You either need to take a battery of tests or you need to know which STI test to take. Unless a sexual partner has tested positive for a specific STI, you don\u2019t know which test you need.<\/p>\n

Testing for Gonorrhea and Chlamydia<\/h2>\n

Gonorrhea is less prevalent than it used to be, but it results in infertility if you don\u2019t get it treated. Chlamydia often has no symptoms, but it\u2019s still highly contagious. Testing for gonorrhea and chlamydia involves either a urine test or a swab from your penis or cervix.<\/p>\n

Medical experts recommend getting tested annually for both diseases if you are a:<\/p>\n
