These infections are particularly common among sexually active women, men who have sex with men, and other sexually active individuals. They can have serious health consequences if left untreated.

Importance of Regular Testing
Regular STD testing is a crucial aspect of maintaining sexual health. It is especially important for individuals with new or multiple sex partners, those who do not use condoms consistently, and those who have had an STD in the past. Early detection through regular testing helps prevent the spread of infections and allows for timely treatment. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Chlamydia and Gonorrhea are two of the most frequently reported sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the United States. The Department of Health and Human Services emphasizes the importance of regular testing, particularly for sexually active women under 25 and men who have sex with men. By following these guidelines, you can protect your health and the health of your partners.

Understanding Chlamydia and Gonorrhea
Chlamydia
Often called a “silent” infection because many people do not experience symptoms. When symptoms do occur, they can include genital discharge, burning during urination, and pain during intercourse. Untreated Chlamydia can lead to serious health issues such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women and epididymitis in men, both of which can result in infertility.
Gonorrhea
Symptoms can include a burning sensation when urinating, increased genital discharge, and, in men, painful or swollen testicles. Women may experience bleeding between periods. Untreated Gonorrhea can cause severe and permanent health problems in both men and women, including PID in women and epididymitis in men.
