Regular Screening for STIs & STDs

 

06 Sep 2021

Conversations on sexual health are not just for teenagers. Regardless of age, sexually-transmitted infections (STIs) and sexually-transmitted diseases (STDs)  are not to be taken lightly. While many can be cured with antibiotics, some may lead to more serious health risks and long-term consequences.. Your doctor can easily screen for common STIs and STDs with a simple urine or blood test. Getting tested before any new sexual partner is good practice. There is no harm in adding screenings to your routine doctor’s appointments.
