Could You Have a STD?
Being aware of your body is always important, especially if you are sexually active. Noticing unusual changes in penile or vaginal discharges, along with various rashes or growths can help you in early detection of several of the sexually transmitted infections. Some sexually transmitted infections and diseases produce no obvious symptoms—especially among women—which helps explain why it has been difficult to curb the spread of many of the sexual pathogens. The following chart is for informational purposes only. If you believe that you or your partner may have a sexually transmitted infection, please see your physician for testing. Everyone who is sexually active should receive periodic STD checks to ensure their own health and the health of their partner.
